All the data stored on the restored partition will be replaced by the image data, so be careful and watch
for non-backed-up data that you might need.

Changing the restored partition type
1. When restoring a partition, you can change its type, though it is not required in most
cases.
To illustrate why you might need to do this, let’s imagine that both the operating system and
data were stored on the same primary partition on a damaged disk.
If you are restoring a system partition to the new (or the same) disk and want to load an
operating system from it, you will select
Active
.
If you restore a system partition to another hard disk with its own partitions and OS, most
probably, you will need only the data. In this case, you can restore the partition as
Logical
to access the data only.
By default, the original partition type is selected.
Selecting
Active
for a partition without an installed operating system could prevent your server from
booting.

Changing the restored partition file system
1. Though seldom required, you can change the partition file system during its restoration.
Acronis True Image Server for Linux can make the following file system conversions:
FAT
16 -> FAT 32, Ext2 -> Ext3
. For partitions with other native file systems this option is not
available.
