creating boot images of physical disks

Thread needs solution

Hi

I am new to acronis and need some assistance on how to create an image of the server (server 2008 R2). the image to be stored on a network location or external HDD. I then want to do a test restore of this image to a virtual machine.

Is this possible and can someone please tell me how to go about it. I have downloaded the trial version of acronis backup and restore.

thanks in advance

Hi Hadray,

welcome to Acronis Forum! I am glad to assist you.

So if you just want to create an image of your disk, please follow this guide.

If you want to restore image of your system to a machine with different hardware (it doesn't matter physical or virtual), the system gets unbootable. For recovering to dissimilar hardware you will need  Acronis Universal Restore and this add-on is not available in trial version.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
