Restore .tib to ESX

Thread needs solution

hi,

Dell Poweredge 1900 server has just failed on me. I have an Acronis backup from last night.
I have a spare HP Proliant G5 server with ESXi 5 installed.

I was contemplating restoring to the physical server using the Acronis universal restore although working remotely used VMware converter tool to import as a virtual machine although it wont start - due to difference in hardware i guess.

Would the recommendations be get back to site and restore to physical, or boot from Acronis universal restore CD and point to .tib?

Thanks in advance!

Simon,

My view would be it would be better to be on site and restore. I'm not too sure about VMWare and Echo, though I know VMWare did have some converters for Echo, I don't know how well they work.

If you have remote agent installed though and the server is available on the network, you should be able to initiate the restore from the tib from the terminal you are using. This assumes that you have the Server version of Echo and you've installed Management Server.
