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.
