2. Understanding Acronis Snap Deploy
This chapter describes the Acronis Snap Deploy infrastructure components and their interaction.
2.1 Terminology
The following table lists the common terms and descriptions used in this document.
Master system
The system to be deployed.
Master image
(Image)
A file that contains the master system in a packaged form. The file has a
“.tib” extension.
Online imaging
Taking an image while the master system is in a production state (the
operating system is running on the master computer.)
Offline imaging
Taking an image while the master computer is booted into Acronis or
Windows preinstallation environment.
Deployment
Transferring the operating system (OS), applications and data from the
master image file to a physical hard disk. In most cases, deployment is
performed by multicasting the image through the network.
Standalone
deployment
Deployment on a computer isolated from a network or included in a
network without Acronis Snap Deploy infrastructure. Standalone
deployment is performed locally using the bootable Acronis Snap Deploy
component.
Target disk The physical disk to be deployed to (an internal hard disk of the target
computer.)
Target computer
(Target)
The hardware to be deployed to.
Deployment
template
(Template)
Configuration parameters of the deployment operation:
1. Path to the master image
2. The operation mode (multicast or unicast, how to handle the target disk
free space etc.)
3. Settings to be applied to the deployed systems (DNS names, user
accounts etc.)
4. Operations to be performed on the deployed systems (transfer files,
execute applications, shut down, restart)
Once you save a deployment template, you can use it in the future.
Administrator
The person who has rights to manage Acronis Snap Deploy infrastructure.
Custom
deployment
mode
The mode when deployment can be initiated on the target side only.
User
The person on the target side who initiates the custom deployment. This
term relates to the custom deployment mode only.
