Once you order Large Scale Recovery for a particular machine, Acronis sends you a USB hard disk 
drive with all of the backups made from this machine. You can recover data directly from the disk or 
copy the backups to a local or network folder. 

 

1.8.2

 

Why would I use Large Scale Recovery? 

In the event of a disaster or the need to recover large volumes of data or the entire machines quickly, 
this service helps you save time and network traffic. Recovering hundreds of gigabytes over the 
Internet may take days. This process will deliver a faster recovery. 

 

1.8.3

 

Do I need to perform initial seeding to be able to use Large 
Scale Recovery? 

No, these services are independent. 

 

1.8.4

 

Is Large Scale Recovery a paid service? 

Yes, you need to buy one Large Scale Recovery license per machine. The license enables you to get a 
disk with all of the currently available backups of this machine. To obtain backups that will be created 
in the future, you will need a new Large Scale Recovery license. 

 

1.8.5

 

Can I perform large scale recovery on a different machine? 

Yes. You can recover the data an unlimited number of times on any machine you wish. Acronis 
Universal Restore is included to help you recover an operating system to dissimilar hardware. 

 

1.8.6

 

Can I obtain backups taken from a number of machines on 
a single hard drive? 

No. A separate hard drive is required for each machine. 

 

1.8.7
