How to Deploy Image With Acronis Snap Deploy 3.0

By: lisja4ij

1. For this operation you will need to install the following components included in the Acronis Snap Deploy installation file:

- Acronis License Server - Acronis Snap Deploy Management - Acronis OS Deploy Server

Also you need to install Acronis Universal Deploy from a separate setup file.

Install all of the above software on the third computer (the one you do not either backup or restore).

2. Import the license for Acronis Snap Deploy 3 and Acronis Universal Deploy to the License Server from the Management Console. You can save the license numbers you wish to import in a text file first, and then import them by selecting the file in the further wizard.

3. You will need to create the image of your master computer (the one you deploy from). For this click on "Create Master Image" in the Management Console and follow the wizard choosing "On the local machine using bootable media", Acronis Standalone Deployment and Acronis Image Creator in the Rescue Media content. Pick USB flash drive (you should have the USB flash drive attached to the third computer at this point) or ISO-file as a bootable media. Wait until the media is created. If you choose to create ISO-file, burn it to CD or DVD.

Attach an external USB hard drive to your master computer to use it to store your master image. Boot your master computer from the created bootable media, setting the proper BIOS configuration. Load Acronis GUI environment. Click on "Acronis Master Image Creator". Check all of the partiotions you want to deploy. Specify the location for the Master Image to store (external USB hard drive).

4. When the Image is created, load into Windows environment again. Now, attach the external USB hard drive with the master image on it to your target computer (the one you want to deploy to). Boot the target computer from the created bootable media. Click on "Acronis Standalone Utility". Browse for the master image and start the deployment process.
