Acronis Backup & Recovery

Recovering MD devices and logical volumes

To recover MD devices, known as Linux Software RAID, and/or devices created by Logical Volume Manager (LVM), known as logical volumes, you need to create the corresponding volume structure before starting the recovery.

You can create the volume structure in either of the following ways:

• Automatically in Linux-based bootable media by using the management console or a script—see Creating the volume structure automatically.
• Manually by using the mdadm and lvm utilities—see Creating the volume structure manually.
