3.1. Preparing for Installation¶
Acronis Storage can be installed from
DVD discs (burn the distribution ISO image onto a DVD disc),
PXE servers (see the Installation via PXE Server guide for information on installing Acronis Storage over the network).
Note
Time synchronization via NTP is enabled by default.
USB drives
3.1.1. Preparing for Installation from USB Storage Drives¶
To install Acronis Storage from a USB storage drive, you will need a 2 GB or higher-capacity USB drive and the Acronis Storage distribution ISO image.
Make a bootable USB drive by transferring the distribution image to it with dd.
Important
Be careful to specify the correct drive to transfer the image to.
For example, on Linux:
# dd if=storage-image.iso of=/dev/sdb
And on Windows (with dd for Windows):
C:\>dd if=storage-image.iso of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0
