Once this process has completed, you have a working system to a replacement machine. No reinstallation of the operating system and applications is required. No re-configuration to join the network is required, as the product retains Security Identifier (SID) and network information of the system during recovery.

With Acronis Universal Restore, complete system recovery can be accomplished from an image, with no reinstallation of the operating system, applications or any reconfigurations or individual files and folders restored. Since Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server creates a transportable image that disassociates the data from the underlying hardware, recovery can be performed to an existing system, to a new system with different hardware, or to a virtual server.
