How Does Universal Restore Work?
Windows Servers and Workstations do not make it easy to move the Operating System to different hardware. Acronis does. Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 will help you create an image of the machine that is disassociated with the original hardware and loads the appropriate new drivers for the new hardware.
Acronis Universal Restore is then invoked from a previously created bootable media to initiate the restore process on the new Server, Workstation or Virtual Machine. Universal Restore detects the new hardware and installs the drivers for the new Hardware Abstraction Layer or HAL. It really is as simple as that. The Operating System, all applications, previous settings and data are restored to the new hardware in minutes. Wish this product was available back in the day - it could have saved me a lot of nights and weekends spent at the facility.
Too many scenarios could happen to make this a valuable tool to have in your arsenal of IT utilities. Hardware fails and Servers crash. There has to be a plan in place to replace systems. Acronis Universal restore should be in your backup and recovery or disaster recovery plan.
