Hello IT_Fanatic,

thank you for your posting!

Yes, you can restore your system to dissimilar hardware using Acronis Universal Restore

First of all you need to create a full system backup. If you perform backup in Windows please make sure that the option Use Volume Shadow Copy Service is working and there are no warnings or error messages in log. If there is such possibility you can also start your server from bootable media and run a disk backup and validation from media.

And after that simply follow the guidelines in this knowledge base article.

Thank you.
