With Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, recovery can be carried out by any IT staff, freeing highly-skilled IT resources
from recovery related tasks.
Recovering to Dissimilar Hardware
Recovering a system onto dissimilar hardware from a failed system often results in a failed recovery. Due to the
differences in hardware and drivers, the system usually cannot start normally after a full restore. Highly-skilled
systems engineers are needed to carry out procedures such as copying and replacing drivers, editing and creating
Windows Registry keys. Often, this tedious, error-prone process requires hours or even days to complete, threatening
business continuity.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore is an option that solves the problem quickly. It simplifies and
streamlines the recovery process for dissimilar hardware restores. With Universal Restore, systems can be recovered
to dissimilar hardware in minutes, not hours or days. Drivers for the new hardware can be added to the recovery
CD-ROM in advance or during the recovery process, and Universal Restore will automatically configure the underlying
operating system settings so that the recovered system will run on the new hardware.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore option frees organizations to use dissimilar hardware for standby
purposes, eliminating the need to provision identical hardware for recovery. Systems can generally be recovered in
less than an hour, eliminating the need for expensive clustering solutions for most business-critical systems.
The Natural Human Factor in Disaster Recovery
Major disasters that have happened in recent times have taught us new lessons about disaster recovery (DR).
Organizations affected in these disasters learned that the DR plan previously thought would suffice did not go
according to plan.
Many of the affected organization had to perform the recovery at the DR site without the personnel responsible for
it. Due to the fact that these people themselves were affected by the disaster. They learned that recovery should not
be dependent on the selected few IT staff members that have special knowledge of the systems and the technical
know-how to recover them.
To be sure that existing staff can handle a disaster; the recovery process must be as simple to operate as is
technologically possible and has minimum dependency on system documentation. Any time spent looking for OS/
application CDs, license keys, or running through system and network documents will delay recovery of line-of-
business processes by hours, even days.
Remote Recovery
Organizations performing remote office and workstation/laptop backups also appreciate the convenience of
performing a remote recovery, as it costs time and money to send IT staff to remote locations for that purpose.
Remote restores eliminate the need to travel to a remote location to recover a machine. In certain cases, remote
recoveries are the only option available for security reasons.
Multiple machines located at different locations can be recovered at the same time by one administrator from
the administrator console. The machine can be booted through network boot (through Acronis PXE Server), from
the Acronis Rescue Media CD-ROM or the Acronis Startup Recover Manager via the boot prompt. Once the agent
is running, a connection can be established remotely from the management console and the administrator can
execute recovery tasks directly.
