Disk management
Acronis Disk Director Lite is a tool for preparing a machine disk/volume configuration for recovering
the volume images saved by the Acronis Backup & Recovery Server OEM software.
Sometimes after the volume has been backed up and its image placed into a safe storage, the
machine disk configuration might change due to a HDD replacement or hardware loss. In such case
with the help of Acronis Disk Director Lite, the user has the possibility to recreate the necessary disk
configuration so that the volume image can be recovered exactly “as it was” or with any alteration of
the disk or volume structure the user might consider necessary.
