Moving and resizing volumes during recovery
You can resize the resulting basic volume, both MBR and GPT, during recovery, or change the
volume's location on the disk. A resulting dynamic volume cannot be moved or resized.
Preparing disk groups and volumes
Before recovering dynamic volumes to bare metal you should create a disk group on the target
hardware.
You also might need to create or increase unallocated space on an existing disk group. This can be
done by deleting volumes or converting basic disks to dynamic.
You might want to change the target volume type (basic, simple/spanned, striped, mirrored, RAID
0+1, RAID 5). This can be done by deleting the target volume and creating a new volume on the
resulting unallocated space.
Acronis Backup & Recovery Server OEM includes a handy disk management utility which enables you
to perform the above operations both under the operating system and on bare metal. To find out
more about Acronis Disk Director Lite, see the Disk management section.

Tape support
Acronis Backup & Recovery Server OEM supports tape libraries, autoloaders, SCSI and USB tape
drives as storage devices. A tape device can be locally attached to a managed machine (in this case,
the Acronis Backup & Recovery Server OEM Agent writes and reads the tapes).
Backup archives created using different ways of access to tape have different formats.
Backups created using the bootable media can be recovered with the Acronis Backup & Recovery
Server OEM Agent running in the operating system.
2.6.1
Using a single tape drive
A tape drive that is locally attached to a managed machine can be used by local backup plans as a
storage device. The functionality of a locally attached autoloader or tape library is limited to the
ordinary tape drive. This means that the program can only work with the currently mounted tape and
you have to mount tapes manually.
Backup to a locally attached tape device
When creating a backup plan, you are able to select the locally attached tape device as the backup
destination. An archive name is not needed when backing up to a tape.
