10 Deploying a master image

This section describes how to deploy a master image to one or more machines.

Caution: Deployment to a machine involves deleting some or all data that is currently stored on that machine.

Make sure that you are performing deployment to the correct machines and to the correct disks on those

machines.

10.1 Files supported as master images

Acronis Snap Deploy 5 can perform deployment from any of the following files:

 A master image created by Acronis Snap Deploy 5 or by an earlier version of the software

 A disk-level backup created by Acronis True Image, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, Acronis

Backup & Recovery 11, or Acronis Backup 11.5

 A Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) file

Support for backups created by the Acronis products

Some backups (known as incremental and differential backups) depend on other backups. To ensure

that Acronis Snap Deploy 5 finds all of the backups it needs, we recommend leaving the backup in the

location where it was created by your Acronis product.

If the backup is split into two or more parts, make sure that all these parts are in the same folder. To

specify such a backup, specify any one of these parts.

Support for VHD files

These files store disks and volumes of a machine. Such a file can be created by the following

programs:

 Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP 1.0, Windows Virtual PC, and Microsoft Virtual Server

 Windows built-in backup utilities (starting with Windows 7)

 Acronis True Image Home 2010 and later

If the VHD file is split into two or more parts, make sure that all these parts are in the same folder. To

specify the VHD file, select any one of these parts.

10.2 Licenses for deployment

Acronis Snap Deploy 5 OS Deploy Server performs deployment to a machine by using an available

machine license or deployment license (p. 16). Once used by one machine, the license cannot be

reused by another machine.

A machine license becomes used when the first deployment to the machine starts. The license

remains used regardless of the result of deployment.

Normally, a deployment license becomes used if the deployment has been successful. If the

deployment has failed, Acronis Snap Deploy 5 OS Deploy Server can use the license for another

deployment to the same machine or to a different machine.

In some cases, a deployment license becomes used even if the deployment has failed. Acronis Snap

Deploy 5 OS Deploy Server will use the license for the next deployment to the same machine.
