Creating the volume structure automatically

Use the following procedure to create the volume structure in a Linux-based bootable media.

Note: If you are recovering the volumes from a backup created by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, this procedure works only if the volume structure information was saved in the backup. (It is saved by default.)

Caution: As a result of the following procedure, the current volume structure on the machine will be replaced with the one stored in the archive. This will destroy the data that is currently stored on some or all of the machine's hard disks.

If disk configuration has changed. An MD device or a logical volume resides on one or more disks, each of its own size. If you replaced any of these disks between backup and recovery (or if you are recovering the volumes to a different machine), make sure that the new disk configuration includes enough disks whose sizes are at least those of the original disks.

To create the volume structure automatically

1. Boot the machine from a Linux-based bootable media.
2. Click Acronis Bootable Agent. Then, click Run management console.
3. In the management console, click Recover.

   Under the archive contents, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 will display a message saying that it detected information about the volume structure.

4. Click Details in the area with that message.
5. Review the volume structure, and then click Apply RAID/LVM to create it.
