Recover to baremetal dissimilar hardware
Hello,
I have the Acronis SBS edition and I made a full backup but when I boot the new hardware with the BootCD, and try to restore, it doesn't want to load...and even though the restore goes through, it won't let me boot.
I am thinking I did something wrong...
Can anyone direct me to the steps I need to take to backup/image the computer and restore it to a baremetal dissimilar hardware?
Thank you in advance!

I have ABR10_Advanced Server SBS with UR Build 13544. Made a full back-up and then restore to a disimilar hardware/server. No erros were encountered during restoration. The OS booted normally until it reached log-on screen. I log using my normal log in account after that a message/window appeared. ("Windows Product Activation" This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can continue. You can not log on until you activate Windows. Do you want to activate Windows now?" ) ............... is this something to do with Microsoft Licensing or i missed some settings during backup/restoration?

It's a licensing, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Product_Activation Note that if you activate this one, the old one will be considered de-licensed, so don't activate if it was a test restore.
