It sounds to me like the Linux environment that TrueImages uses to restore a boot drive doesn't support your RAID card.

One possibility is that a newer version of TrueImage might support your hardware. What is the brand/model of your RAID card?

A second possibility might be to create a BartPE boot disk which runs in Windows and can use Windows drivers.

 

If the Sever version offers a SAFE Mode version of TI and the RAID drive is recognized by the computer's BIOS and the image you're trying to restore is saved on an internal drive then that might work.

 

I had aproximately the same problem with ATI 9.1 wks.

I loose 6 days to restore my boot partition on my RAID5 volume.

Finaly i solved the problem with this method:
1) insert a IDE ou SATA drive
2) install your OS on the RAID5 partition
3) install ATI on you OS
4) restore you partition on the IDE or SATA drive
5) reboot on the IDE drive
6) move your partition to the RAID5 volume.
7) supress the IDE or SATA drive
It's done.

 

Hello babar1,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Server Disk Backup Software.

Please download and install the latest build (1035) of Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows. To get access to updates you should first register your software. Don't forget to recreate Acronis Bootable Rescue Media and reactivate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager after updating.

If updating doesn't solve the problem, please try booting with "acpi=off noapic" parameter as it is described in Acronis Help Post.

Note that you should press F11 button when the "Starting Acronis Loader..." message appears and not when the selection screen appears.

If the issue persists, please collect some information to let us investigate it thoroughly:

Please create Acronis Report, Linux system information (sysinfo.txt) and Windows system information as it is described in Acronis Help Post.

Then submit a request for technical support. Attach all the collected files and information to your request along with the step-by-step description of the actions taken before the problem appears and the link to this thread. We will investigate the problem and try to provide you with a solution.

Thank you.
