2.1.1 Acronis Universal Restore installation
Acronis Universal Restore is an option to Acronis True Image Server for Windows. It should
be purchased separately and installed from a separate setup file.
Acronis Universal Restore can only be installed on a computer where at least one of the
following Acronis components is installed:
Acronis True Image Server for Windows
Bootable Media Builder.
Acronis Universal Restore can be installed on a networked computer either locally, by
running the setup program, or remotely using one of remote installation services, for
example, Systems Management Server (a component of Microsoft Windows NT BackOffice
program package).
After installation, Acronis Universal Restore automatically plugs in one or more of above
program components. Acronis True Image Server for Windows name, displayed in its main
window, changes to Acronis True Image Server for Windows with Universal Restore.
2.2 Extracting Acronis True Image Server for Windows
When installing Acronis True Image Server for Windows, you can save the setup (.msi) file
on a local or network drive. This will help when modifying or recovering the existing
component installation.
To save a setup file:
• run the Acronis True Image Server for Windows setup file;
• in the Install Menu, right-click on the program name and select Extract;
• select a location for the setup file and click Save.
2.3 Running Acronis True Image Server for Windows
You can run Acronis True Image Server for Windows in Windows by selecting Start ->
Programs -> Acronis -> Acronis True Image Server for Windows -> Acronis True
Image Server for Windows or clicking on the appropriate shortcut on the desktop.
If your operating system does not load for some reason, you can run Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager. However, this must be activated prior to use; see
3.4 Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager
to learn more about this procedure. To run the program, press F11 during
server bootup, when you see a corresponding message that tells you to press that key.
Acronis True Image Server for Windows will be run in the standalone mode, allowing you to
recover the damaged partitions.
If your disk data is totally corrupted and you cannot boot (or if you have not activated
Acronis Startup Recovery Manager), load the standalone Acronis True Image Server for
Windows version from the bootable media (supplied with the retail box or created by you
using Rescue Media Builder) or RIS-server. Then you will be able to restore the disk from its
previously created image.
2.4 Removing Acronis True Image Server for Windows
Select Control panel -> Add or remove programs -> <Acronis True Image Server
for Windows> -> Remove. Then follow instructions on the screen. You may have to
reboot your computer afterwards to complete the task.
