True Image 9.1 server restore not working....

And I can not figure it out why, because I use it on remote server which I can not see in DOS/Linux before Windows boot :-(

I set up restore from image in Windows and then it reboots and nothing happens as far as I see, but I don't see the Linux window. Is it supposed to restore automatically or are there any requesters that needs answer? I can remote hard reboot and my machine is back then, but I see after 30 minutes the restore was not done, so something is stopping it...

The Sata drives I haave on remote computer are on the SIS 965 South Bridge if maybe there are not drivers for them in the Boot environment.

Anbody can help me restore? Is there any low level log I cann see what went wrong in boot environment?

 

Hello jerry2000,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Server Disk Backup Software.

Please be aware that Acronis True Image 9.1 Server for Windows does not allow you to keep connection with the remote server which you wish to back up/restore, because some operations require reboot. After reboot server does not start particular processes which will allow you to keep a network connection and remotely manage the server. Please be aware that Acronis True Image boots into Linux environment which requires you direct presence to accomplish the task. If you perform a hard reboot then the backup/restore process stays unfinished. This is definitely not an error of the program and the logs are unusable in this case.

We can suggest you to use Acronis True Image 9.1 Enterprise Server in order to stay in connection with the remote server during the backup process. This product has many useful features for the purposes you have desribed.

We recommend you to download and install the free trial version of Acronis True Image 9.1 Enterprise server for Windows to see how the software works for you.

Hm, so the backup process needs the user interaction on reboot (small Linux codde that you execute)? I thought there is no intervention needed as I already told Windows what to restore and where :-( That is of course reason why it is not working, yes... I don't have a pre-Windows connection to my server (I have only a remote connection to my leased server in Data center).

So you think Enterprise Server would make the restore possible in my configuration?
