3.4 Acronis Startup Recovery Manager3.4.1 How it worksThe Acronis Startup Recovery Manager enables starting Acronis True Image EnterpriseServer on a local computer without loading the operating system. With this feature, if theoperating system won't load for some reason, you can run Acronis True Image EnterpriseServer by itself to restore damaged partitions. As opposed to booting from Acronisremovable media or RIS server, you will not need a separate media or network connection tostart Acronis True Image Enterprise Server. It is especially handy for traveling users.3.4.2 How to useTo be able to use Acronis Startup Recovery Manager at boot time, prepare as follows (youcan do it either locally, using Acronis True Image Enterprise Server local version, orremotely, using Acronis True Image Management Console):1. Install Acronis True Image Enterprise Server local version or Acronis True Image Agent ona local computer.2. Create Acronis Secure Zone on the local computer hard disk (seeChapter 9. ManagingAcronis Secure Zone).3. Activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. To do so, click Activate Acronis StartupRecovery Manager and follow the Wizard’s instructions.If you try to activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager while Acronis Secure Zone is missingfrom the system, you will be prompted to create the zone, then Acronis Startup RecoveryManager will be activated. Otherwise, Acronis Startup Recovery Manager will be activatedimmediately.When Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is activated, it overwrites the master boot record(MBR) with its own boot code. If you have any third-party boot managers installed, you willhave to reactivate them after activating the Startup Recovery Manager. For Linux loaders(e.g. LiLo and GRUB), you might consider installing them to a Linux root (or boot) partitionboot record instead of MBR before activating Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.If failure occurs on a local computer, turn on the computer and press F11 when you see the"Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager" message. This will run a standaloneversion of Acronis True Image Enterprise Server that only slightly differs from the completeversion. For information on restoring damaged partitions, seeChapter 7. Restoring thebackup data.Be careful! Disk letters in standalone Acronis True Image Enterprise Server might sometimesdiffer from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in thestandalone Acronis True Image might correspond to the E: drive in Windows.3.5 Acronis Backup ServerThis software application, when installed on a networked computer, automatically managesbackup archives, stored on this computer, in accordance with the rules, set by anadministrator.
