Migration method

Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office allows you to select a partition layout for a target disk after recovery operation completion:

  • MBR (Master Boot Sector) - a 512-byte boot sector, which is the first sector of a hard disk, used to hold a disk's primary partition table.
  • GPT (GUID Partition Table) - a standard for a partition table layout for hard disks. GPT allows disks/partitions size up to 9.4 ZB (9.4 x 10^21 bytes).

Using this wizard you may convert your partitions layout while recovering or recover them as is, not changing the layout.

  • Copy partitions without changes - select this option to migrate your system as is, not changing the partition layout. Note, in this case the disk space in excess of 2TB will be inaccessible. To allocate the disk space beyond 2TB, you may use Acronis Extended Capacity Manager.
  • Copy partitions and use a disk as non-system, GPT style - select this option to convert your partition to a GPT layout.

With Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office you also can convert BIOS to UEFI systems.
