Creating bootable media
In some cases, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server can be run only from a special
bootable diskette or CD. Such a case might be if your server does not boot up
normally.
You can create bootable media during or after the installation.
For this, you will need a CD-R/RW blank, several formatted diskettes (the bootable
media wizard will tell you the exact number), or any other media your server can
boot from, such as a Zip drive. Click
Create Bootable Media
on the toolbar or the
sidebar, or select
Create Bootable Media
from the
Tools
menu.
You can also create bootable media without loading
Acronis
True Image
Enterprise Server
itself by selecting
Programs

Acronis

r
from the
Start
menu.
You will see the bootable media wizard that will ask you to select either complete,
or safe loader version. The latter doesn't have USB, PC card (PCMCIA), SCSI drivers
and is useful only in case the complete version doesn’t work.
After you create a boot disk, identify it and keep it in a safe place.
12.3 Viewing
logs
Acronis True Image Enterprise Server allows users to view its working logs. They
can provide information about scheduled image creation results, including failure
reasons if any. Logs are created only for partition (disk) image creation operations.
To invoke the log window, select
Show log
on the toolbar or from the
Tools
menu.
The log browsing window contains two panels: the left one features the log list,
while the right one – selected log contents.
The left panel can contain up to 50 logs. If there’s more, you can browse the list
using the
More
and
Less
buttons with the left and right arrows.
