IBM 3850 X6

Thread needs solution

Hello,

 

Can you tell me if Acronis true image 2016 is compatible with IBM 3850 x6 servers.

I have a number of IBM 3850x5 servers that I want to backup and perform a full bare metal restore to IBM 3850 x6 servers

 

I have had issues in the past with IBM 3650 restores so just want to know if there are any known issues with 3850 IBM servers.

 

Thanks

 

Jonathan

Jonathan,

Sorry but too little information to be able to give you a definitive answer - what OS will these machines be running, what configuration for their disk drives i.e. RAID x etc?

Acronis True Image Home 2016 is as described, a product intended for Home users, not for business users with complex Server OS systems.

It probably could create an offline backup of your IBM 3850 x5 servers using the Acronis Rescue Media, but this is assuming that the Acronis program can see your RAID set as a single disk entity and that you have the storage capacity on your destination backup drive to hold the archive image file it would create.

In terms of being able to restore that image to your IBM 3850 x6 servers, you are essentially doing a restore to different hardware, and therefore you would need to use the Acronis Universal Restore utility provided with ATIH 2016, but this is where using a Home product gets more difficult, because I do not know whether AUR would work with your Server OS.

See KB document: 56517: Acronis True Image 2016: Supported Operating Systems which only lists one Windows Server product as supported - Windows Home Server 2011, which I suspect may not be what you are running on these server systems.

I would recommend contacting Acronis Support directly to discuss your requirements here in more detail so that they can more accurately advise you on which would be the best Acronis product to meet your needs.
