Acronis Backup & Recovery

Saving the volume structure information

For the structure of MD devices and logical volumes to be automatically created at the time of recovery, you need to save the volume structure information in either of these ways:

• When creating a backup plan for the disk-level backup, go to Backup options > Advanced settings, and then select the Save software RAID and LVM metadata along with backups check box. (It is selected by default.)
• Before performing the first disk backup on a source machine, run the following command:

  trueimagecmd –dumpraidinfo

Either operation saves the machine’s logical volume structure to the /etc/Acronis directory. Make sure that the volume with this directory is selected for backup.
