3.6 Acronis Universal Restore
3.6.1 Purpose of Acronis Universal Restore
A system disk image can be restored easily on the hardware where it was created or to identical
hardware. However, if you change the motherboard or use another processor version, a likely
possibility in case of hardware failure, the recovered system could fail to boot.
Trying to move the system to a new more powerful computer will usually produce the same result.
This is because the new hardware is incompatible with critical drivers included in the image.
Microsoft System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) will not resolve this problem. Sysprep allows you to
replace only Plug-and-Play device drivers (sound cards, network adapters, video cards etc.).
However, System Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and mass storage device drivers must be
identical on both the source and the target computers (see Microsoft Knowledge Base, articles
302577 and 216915).
Acronis Universal Restore technology provides an efficient solution for hardware-independent
system restoration by replacing the crucial Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and mass storage
device drivers.
