  1. What is the primary purpose of Acronis Universal Restore?

    Answer: To recover a system to dissimilar hardware by injecting appropriate drivers

    Acronis Universal Restore enables restoring a system to hardware that differs from the original by detecting and injecting the necessary drivers during the recovery process.

  2. Which types of bootable media does Acronis Bootable Media Builder support for bare metal recovery?

    Answer: WinPE-based and Linux-based bootable media

    Acronis Bootable Media Builder creates WinPE-based or Linux-based rescue media that can boot outside the OS to perform bare metal recovery operations.

  3. During an Acronis bare metal restore, what must be configured when the target disk has a different partition layout than the source?

    Answer: Manual partition mapping or automatic disk layout adjustment must be performed

    When the target disk differs in size or partition structure, Acronis requires the administrator to configure partition mapping or select automatic disk layout adjustment during recovery.

  4. Which Acronis backup type enables recovery of an entire system including OS, applications, and all data in a single restore operation?

    Answer: Disk/volume image restore

    Disk/volume image restore recovers the complete system state, including OS, applications, settings, and data, from a sector-level backup image in one operation.

  5. What is Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (ASRM) and what problem does it solve?

    Answer: A bootable component in the MBR that enables recovery at startup without external media

    Acronis Startup Recovery Manager installs a bootable recovery environment in the MBR or system partition, allowing recovery mode to be launched at startup without a separate USB drive or disc.

  6. Which Acronis recovery option allows an administrator to extract specific files from a full disk-level backup without restoring the entire image?

    Answer: Granular recovery

    Granular recovery allows administrators to browse a disk-level backup and restore only selected files or folders rather than the entire disk image.

  7. When performing bare metal recovery using Acronis bootable media, which protocol is typically used to connect to a remote SMB backup location?

    Answer: SMB/CIFS network share or Acronis agent connection

    Acronis bootable media (both WinPE and Linux) can access remote backup locations via SMB/CIFS network shares or by connecting directly to an Acronis Management Server or Storage Node.
