Creating bootable media
In some cases, Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows 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 Rescue Media
on the toolbar or the sidebar, or select
Create Bootable Rescue Media
from the
Tools
menu.
You can also create bootable media without loading Acronis True Image Server 8.0
for Windows itself by selecting
Programs
Æ
Acronis
Æ
True Image Server 8.0
for Windows
Æ
Bootable Rescue Media Builder
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.
11.3 Viewing
logs
Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows 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.
