Acronis True Image Echo Server for Linux - User Guide - Manual (Page 41)

All the data stored on the target partition will be replaced by the image data, so be
careful and watch for non-backed-up data that you might need.
2. When restoring an entire disk, the program will analyze the target disk structure to see
if the disk is free.
If there are partitions on the target disk, you will be prompted by the Nonempty
Destination Hard Disk Drive window stating that the destination disk contains
partitions, perhaps with data.
You will have to select between:
• Yes, I want to delete all the partitions on the destination hard disk before
restoring – all existing partitions will be deleted and all their data will be lost.
• No, I do not want to delete partitions – no existing partition will be deleted,
discontinuing the recovery operation. You will only be able to cancel the operation or
return to select another disk.
Note that no real changes or data destruction will be performed at this time! For now, the
program will just map out the procedure. All changes will be implemented only when you
click Proceed in the wizard’s final window.
To continue, select the first choice and click Next. You will be taken directly to step 6.3.9
Restoring several disks or partitions at once .
6.3.6 Changing the restored partition type
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.
