Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Acronis® True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server – a complete solution for corporate users
Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server is a comprehensive backup and
recovery solution for heterogeneous computer infrastructure that may include any
combination of physical and virtual, networked and standalone, Windows- and Linuxbased servers.
Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server creates a transportable image,
independent of the hardware platform that can be restored directly to and from any
virtual or physical environment.
Minimizes downtime
Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server enables you to restore systems in
minutes, not hours or days. An entire system can be restored from an image that includes
everything the system needs to run: the operating system , applications, databases, and
configurations. it is not necessary to reinstall software or reconfigure your system or
network settings. The complete system restoration can be performed to an existing
system, to a new system with different hardware, or to virtual machines. With the Acronis
Active restore feature, users can access the server and be gin working during the restore
process, further decreasing downtime. File-level backups provide you with the flexibility to
only backup specific, critical files.
Eases Administration
Wizards guide users through backup and recovery tasks, ensuring the product can be
implemented with minimal user training. A central management console provides remote
administration, ensuring that all systems in the network, regardless of the domain or
workgroup structure, can be managed from one location. Complete, unattended restores
from remote locations are supported with a remote bootable agent.
Automates Backup
With the scheduling capability in Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server,
you simply create backup tasks, tailored by group, or certain times or events.
To ensure that backups have occurred, or if user intervention is required, you can r equest
notifications via email or Windows Pop-up. You can view Acronis events in the Win dows
Application Events Log or Acronis own log files. Log messages can be automatically sent
out to SNMP clients.
The product also supports the creation of custom comman ds before and after backups.
For example, users can automatically run anti-virus products before an image is created
and verify the validity of backups after the image has been created. And because these
tasks can be scheduled, you need not recreate the script to run the pre- and post-event
tasks each time; you can set the scheduled events once and they will run each time
automatically.
Ensures 24 X 7 Uptime
With Acronis’ patented drive snapshot technology, systems can be imaged while they are
in use, ensuring 24-by-7 system availability. This technology enables the product to
backup and image critical operating system files, the master boot record and any
partition-based boot records without requiring a reboot. A CPU allocation feature allows
Copyright © Acronis, Inc., 2000-2009 7
Page 8
you to limit the amount of CPU usage for the application to maximize the CPU’s
availability for mission critical applications. Additionally, users can control hard disk drive
writing speeds and control network bandwidth used during backups, allowing minimal
disruption of business operations.
A feature that allows you to suspend database activity for several seconds is provided so
that you can create a valid image of mission-critical applications such as Microsoft
Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. This database suspension process
supports Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). If your database or operating
system does not support VSS, Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server will
execute your custom commands to execute database suspension.
Supports Leading Edge Technology
Businesses today are moving to leverage the latest technologies, includ ing dual-core, 64bit processors and 64-bit operating systems. With Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small
Business Server, you can protect these new machines, as well as legacy servers, running
a single application with a common interface.
Leverages Existing Technology Investments
The product can leverage your current storage infrastru cture by supporting a variety of
storage media, so you can avoid costly hardware purchases to implement the solution.
The product supports key storage technologies such as: Direct Attached Storage ( DAS),
Network Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Networks (SAN), Redundant Arrays of
Independent Disks (RAID), tapes, USB and IEEE-1394 (FireWire) compliant storage
devices, CDs, DVDs, removable drives (Floppy, Zip, etc.) and shared storage. Mor eover,
the product ensures that you maximize the space on these reso urces with four levels of
compression.
Disk cloning and new disk deployment
Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server can be used to clone an image
onto multiple servers. For example, let’s say a company purchased several servers and
needs similar environments on each of them. Traditionally, the IT manager would install
the operating system and programs on every server. With Acronis True Image for
Microsoft Small Business Server, the IT manager would configure a single server, then
create a disk image of the system. That image can then be duplicated onto multiple
servers.
If you need to upgrade the server hard disk drive, Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small
Business Server simplifies the task to few mouse clicks creating the exact copy of your old
disk to a new one and adjusting partitions size to fit a new hard disk.
Volumes conversion
Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server can back up and recover dynamic
volumes.
Dynamic volume as is can be recovered over the same volume or unallocated space of a
dynamic group. Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server has necessary
tools for any-to-any disks conversion in terms of basic disks and dynamic volumes of any
type (simple, spanned, striped, mirrored or RAID 5). The tools are available in bootable
program version as well. Having booted the Acronis environment, you can easily prepare
the desired dynamic group on bare metal or a computer with non-Windows operating
system.

1.2 Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server components
Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server includes the following
components.
1. Acronis True Image Management Console is a tool for remote access to Acroni s
components. Administrator uses the console to install, configure and control the
components from remote.
2. Acronis True Image Agent is an application that resides on client computers and
performs Acronis operations such as data backup or restore.
3. Acronis Group Server is a management tool that provides ability to schedule,
monitor and manage group backup tasks. It deploys group tasks to the ag ents, polls the
agents for the status of running tasks and provides the administrator with the summary
tasks state display over the network.
4. Acronis Backup Server is an application for centralized storage and management of
enterprise backup archives.
The administrator can set space quotas and backup schemes, schedule check tasks that
consolidate backups in case of quota violati on, perform one-time backups consolidation.
This ensures optimal usage of the storage capacity . Acronis Backup Server also enables
users to access a tape library, connected to the server.
5. Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server (local version) is a
locally controlled server management tool with additional functionality as compared to
Acronis True Image Agent. The local version supports, besides backup and recovery
operations, exploring archives, mounting images as virtual drives, cloning hard disk s data
and formatting partitions on new hard disks, creating dynamic volumes, command-line
mode and scripts execution.
6. Acronis Universal Restore is an add-on to Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small
Business Server that automatically configures Windows drivers in a system, recovered on
dissimilar hardware. This enables the seamless system start and operation.
