Drive imaging was the topic today.

This blog post is a guide on how to use Acronis True Image to restore and create disk images. Disk imaging is the process of creating a complete copy of a hard drive, including the operating system, configuration, and user files. This can be useful for solving software problems, deploying system updates, and setting up new machines.

The blog post provides a step-by-step guide on how to restore a non-sysprepped image and a sysprepped image using Acronis True Image. It also includes instructions on how to create a new image (backup) of a sysprepped VM.

Here are the key steps involved in restoring an image:

Boot the virtual machine (VM) to the Acronis True Image ISO.
In True Image, select the Recover option and browse for the backup image file.
Select the image file and choose to recover the whole disk and partitions.
Select the destination disk and review the settings before proceeding.
The imaging process will begin, and the VM will shut down automatically when it’s completed.
Eject the ISO file and turn on the VM.
To create a new image (backup), follow these steps:

Boot the VM to Acronis True Image and select the Back Up option.
Choose Disk and Partition Back Up and select the backup location on the NAS.
Generate a filename for the image and click Proceed.
The imaging process will begin, and the VM will shut down automatically when it’s completed.
Verify that the image was successfully saved in the NAS.
This blog post is a helpful resource for anyone who wants to learn how to use Acronis True Image to backup and restore their computer systems.

Today, we reviewed how to book various appointments and memberships. Later, I practiced booking appointments and being a customer. A few Massage types you can book at POW are Swedish, Deep Tissue, or Sports. When you book a Massage, you need to block out half an hour before and after the Massage for the room to be clean for the next person.

I worked on posting job posts on the CTP job board for our wonderful clients today. It’s a very rewarding assignment to be able to help with someone’s job search as yes it can be stressful, I know any help is greatly appreciated. Have a good day everyone.

Today I posted my article for the week and we started on the lab for the week in class. I am taking my time with this one, step by step through the directions….

Hello. I gained a new appreciation for schedulers today! They make it look easy. There is always a first time to try to do something new. Today our class practiced signing clients up for a POW membership. Then we role-played booking a massage for POW clients. Finally, we sent a confirmation e-mail to the customer reminding them of the massage appointment they reserved. More to practice. The first steps are difficult but worthwhile.

4/15/24 Today I worked on my typing skills. We worked on a power of wellness assignment by signing each other up .

Today started with the instructor explaining the lab project for this week. I am still getting used to posting tickets and summaries. I made some progress though, and was able to partially complete my virtual machine setup for drive imaging.

Today I completed the Disk Imaging lab. It was not very difficult for me because it is a process I have done before several times. the lesson about using sysprep and how it affects windows and imaging was very informative to me however, I had not used that before.

Today I did my drive imaging pre lab, and I started on my drive imaging main lab.
