Dynamic storage involves dividing a physical disk into multiple volumes or combining a physical disk with other physical disks to form volumes that are greater in size than any one physical disk. A traditional disk volume is called a "basic" disk volume. KBU supports the following basic and dynamic backup and restore combinations:
Note: While Universal Restore supports restoration of dynamic disks to similar hardware, it does not support restoration of dynamics disks to different hardware platforms that require new drivers. To restore to different hardware platforms, you must restore the dynamic disk backup to a basic disk.
Disk-Based Backups of Dynamic and GPT Disks
Backup 4.0 clients (ABR10) support disk-based backups of Dynamic and GPT disks. Previous to ABR10, only partition-based backups were supported for these types of disks. Restoring disk-based backups of Dynamic and GPT disks requires Universal Restore. AutoRecovery and CD Recovery are not supported.
Note: If Windows is installed on a GPT volume (partition style is GPT), the restored system will not be boot-able. For more information, see the Acronis KB article.
