Disk cloning script
Cloning a disk, containing the currently active operating system, will require reboot.
In that case, after clicking

you will be asked to confirm the reboot.
Canceling the reboot will cancel the entire procedure.
Cloning a non-system disk or a disk, containing OS, not active at the moment, will
proceed without reboot. After you click
Proceed
, Acronis True Image Enterprise
Server will start cloning the old disk to the new disk, indicating the progress in the
special window. You can stop this procedure by clicking
Cancel
. In that case, you
will have to repartition and format the new disk or repeat the cloning procedure.
After the operation is complete, you will see the results message.

Old and new disk partition layouts
The manual transfer method enables you to resize partitions on the new disk. By
default the program resizes them proportionally.
In the next window you will see rectangles indicating the source hard disk, including
its partitions and unallocated space, as well as the new disk layout.
Along with the hard disk number, you will see its capacity, label, partition and file
system information. Different partition types, including primary, logical, and
unallocated space are marked with different colors.
