Recovering MD devices and logical volumes

Recovering MD devices and/or volumes created by Logical Volume Manager (logical volumes) assumes that the corresponding volume structure will be re-created.

In Linux-based bootable media, you can create the volume structure automatically when recovering the volumes from:

• A backup created by Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.
• A backup created by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, provided that the volume structure information was saved in the backup. (It is saved by default.)

In other cases, before starting the recovery, you need to create the volume structure manually by using the mdadm and lvm utilities.
