hello,
my pc schema is:
DISK 1 C: boot partition with XP sp3
DISK 2 d: only user data
DISK 3 E: with W2003 SERVER R2 (offcourse in this disk there is no file like boot.ini, ntldr ecc)
In C: there is boot.ini with the indication to start from disk 1 or disk 3
I made a tib with abr10 us (version 11639) for the E volume, including the mbr
Now I need to restore it in a vmware environment replicating a similar configuration.
But when I boot in the virtual pc, via ABR10 ur 11639, recovering from this tib (as before explained) I cannot find the way to evidence the flag FOR UNIVERSAL RESTORE (but advanced view is flagged).
While if I change the origin tib, with a tib made from the same pc but for the volume C, inthis case it is possibile to include the universal restore.
There is my error or is a problem ?
Thanks

Hello Massimo!

Welcome to our Forum! I completely understand your concern and will be glad to assist you.

Acronis Universal Restore appears only after detection of some OS in the image you are restoring. Since E: drive doesn't have boot.ini and other files, required for successful booting, it cannot identify Server 2003 in the image and decides it to be non-system backup.

As a workaround I would suggest you to convert the *.tib archive to the virtual machine hard drive or virtual machine itself. Please kindly check chapter 6.3.10, p. 224 in the User's Guide.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you!
