5.1.4.2 Selecting target volumes
Available volume destinations depend on the agents operating on the machine.
Recover to:
Physical machine
Available when the Acronis Backup Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux is installed.
The selected volumes will be recovered to the physical disks of the machine the console is
connected to. On selecting this, you proceed to the regular volume mapping procedure described
below.
New virtual machine

If Acronis Backup Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux is installed.
The selected volumes will be recovered to a new virtual machine of any of the following types:
VMware Workstation, Microsoft Virtual PC, Red Hat Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), or Citrix XenServer Open Virtual Appliance (OVA).
The virtual machine files will be saved to the destination you specify in the Storage section. By
default, the new virtual machine will be created in the current user's documents folder.

If Acronis Backup Agent for Hyper-V or Agent for VMware is installed.
These agents enable creating a new virtual machine on the virtualization server you specify.
By default, the new virtual machine will be created in the default storage of the virtualization
server. Whether you can change the storage on the virtualization server or not, depends on the
virtualization product brand and settings. VMware ESX(i) may have multiple storages. A
Microsoft Hyper-V server enables creating a new virtual machine in any local folder.
The new virtual machine will be configured automatically, the source machine configuration being
copied where possible. The configuration is displayed in the Virtual Machine Settings (p. 172) section.
Check the settings and make changes if necessary.
Then you proceed to the regular volume mapping procedure described below.
Existing virtual machine
Available when the Acronis Backup Agent for Hyper-V or Agent for VMware is installed.
On selecting this, you specify the virtualization server and the target virtual machine. Then you
proceed to the regular volume mapping procedure described below.
Please be aware that the target machine will be powered off automatically before recovery. If you prefer to
power it off manually, modify the VM power management option.
Disks/volumes
Map automatically
Acronis Backup attempts to map the selected volumes to the target disks as described in the
"How the automatic mapping works" (p. 140) section. If you are unsatisfied with the mapping
result, you can re-map volumes manually. To do this, you have to unmap the volumes in a
reverse order; that is, the last mapped volume should be unmapped first. Then, map the volumes
manually as described below.
