Creating the volume structure automatically

Use the following procedure to automatically recreate the logical volume structure on a machine.

Caution  As a result of the following procedure, the current volume structure on the machine will be replaced with the one stored in the backup. 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. If you replaced any of these disks between backup and recovery (or if you are recovering the volumes to a different machine), ensure that the new disk configuration includes at least the same number of disks as the original volume structure did. The capacity of the disks must be enough to fit all the data being recovered.

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 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.
