Acronis 9.1 Server for Windows - Dell SAS6ir

Thread needs solution

Hi from Germany,
i want backup a Raid 1 with an existing Exchange on it as an image.
I want start the backup from a bootable Rescue disk (to a USB-HDD).

Now there a 2 300GB SAS Hdds.
I want change it to 2 600GB SAS HDDs.

My questions:
Does Acronis bootable media support the SAS6ir Controller to recognice the raid 1 as one disk?
Do i have the choice to take the whole diskspace (600GB) by restoring the image to the new disks and how?

Best Regards
Herbert

Hello Herbert,

Thank you for posting. I will definitely help you.

I did not find any known issues with SAS6ir Controller in our system.

Basically you will need to create a backup of your system and then restore it. If our software detects your RAID properly it will be seen as a regular hard drive. I would recommend page 47 from our user guide which shows in detail how a backup can be created. Page 59 shows how to recover backups.

If you run into any issues or have additional questions please let me know.

Thank you.
