Move to vps

Thread needs solution

Hi, could you help me?

I want to trasfer my whole system to a vps server instead of installing it on another computer, is it possible?

 

Thanks,

Francesco,

I have no experience of VPS servers but it seems that you will be faced with a number of challenges in moving your existing system to a VPS server.

I do not see how you could use Acronis to do this, at least not any of the Acronis True Image Home products as you will have no direct access to the physical hardware where the VPS server is being hosted, which would be needed in order to use Acronis Universal Restore to bring an image from one of your systems to the new server hardware.

From what little I do understand, you would be restricted by the ISP providing the VPS server as to the choice of Windows OS that can be installed, and that install would be done for you on the VPS server, then you would have Root access to allow you to customise the Windows OS and install any further programs.

These are questions that you would really need to ask of the ISP where you are considering purchasing a subscriptions to a VPS server, and also ask what backup protection method they include in the package, as they may have their own dedicated server based backup products to provide the same functionality that you get from ATIH on your home systems.
