PXE and DHCP on the same server
If Acronis PXE Server and the DHCP server are on the same machine, add to the DHCP server option
60: “Client Identifier” with string value “PXE Client”. This can be done as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh
netsh>dhcp
netsh>dhcp>server \\<server_machine_name> or <IP address>
netsh dhcp>add optiondef 60 PXEClient STRING 0 comment=”Option added for PXE
support”
netsh dhcp>set optionvalue 60 STRING PXEClient
6.10.6.4
Work across subnets
To enable the Acronis PXE Server to work in another subnet (across the switch), configure the switch
to relay the PXE traffic. The PXE server IP addresses are configured on a per-interface basis using IP
helper functionality in the same way as DHCP server addresses. For more information please refer to:

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 10 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.
All operations on disks and volumes involve a certain risk of data damage. Operations on system, bootable or
data volumes must be carried out very carefully to avoid potential problems with the booting process or hard
disk data storage.
Operations with hard disks and volumes take a certain amount of time, and any power loss, unintentional
turning off of the machine or accidental pressing of the Reset button during the procedure could result in
volume damage and data loss.
All operations on volumes of dynmic disks in Windows XP and Windows 2000 require Acronis Managed Machine
Service to be run under an account with administrator's rights.
Please take all necessary precautions (p. 264) to avoid possible data loss.

Basic precautions
To avoid any possible disk and volume structure damage or data loss, please take all necessary
precautions and follow these simple rules:
1.
Create a disk image of the disk on which volumes will be created or managed. Having your most
important data backed up to another hard disk or CD will allow you to work on disk volumes
being reassured that your data is safe.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is an extremely effective comprehensive data backup and recovery solution.
It creates a data or disk backup copy stored in a compressed archive file that can be restored in case of any
accident.
