However, as dynamic disks areorganized differently than basic, physical disk drives, there are several issues thatwill impact how you store an image.You can not create an image of the entire dynamic disk, but only of one or moredynamic volumes. This is because a dynamic volume is located on several dynamicdisks, so a partial backup would not create a usable image.The current version of the software is not capable of changing the size and filesystem of an image being restored to a dynamic volume. However, this is possiblewhen you restore a dynamic volume to a basic disk partition.When you create a dynamic volume image, its type information (simple, mirror, andthe like) is lost, so the restoration is performed independently. In each case, theprogram stores and restores volume contents only.If a basic disk image is restored to a dynamic disk, it will destroy the dynamic disk’scontents. As a result, you will end up with a basic disk.You can also create and restore an image of a system partition stored on a dynamicdisk.If Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows runs from Bootable Rescue media, dynamicdisks will be not accessible. To be able to restore a system partition, you must keep its imageon a basic, network, or removable disk.
