Beginning The Work

3.1 Acronis

Disk

Director

Server Logical Organization

Acronis Disk Director Server provides

two operation modes

(see

2.8 «Running Acronis Disk

Director Server»):

•

«Automatic partition operations» mode is designed for the most frequent
operations suitable for the majority of users

•

«Manual partition operations» mode for any partition operations. This mode is
intended for experienced users with some knowledge of disk data storage
organization; it provides full operational control

3.1.1

Automatic partition operations

In this mode, all actions are performed through task-based wizards.

•

Create partition wizard

— enables you to create a partition from unallocated disk space

or other partitions

•

Increase free space wizard

— enables you to enlarge a partition at the expense of

unallocated disk space or other partitions

•

Copy partition wizard

— enables you to copy a partition

•

Recover partitions wizard

– enables you to recover any deleted or damaged partitions.

Working with

Recover partitions wizard

is described in detail in a separate chapter of this

guide. See the section

Chapter 6 «

Working with Acronis Recovery Expert

».

With these

wizards, even an inexperienced user will be able to perform the recovery operations
using step-by-step instructions.

3.1.2

Manual partition operations

In this mode, experienced users have access to all Acronis Disk Director Server features.

Partition operations are performed by entering necessary parameters into dialog boxes.

The main difference

between the automatic and manual modes is that wizards perform

operations series

in the automatic mode and

only single

disk/partition operations in the

manual mode.

3.1.3 Switching

modes

Having selected an operation mode during installation (see

2.2 «Supported operating

systems

•

Windows NT Server

•

Windows 2000 Server

•

Windows 2000 Advanced Server

•

Windows 2003 Server.
