Acronis Disk Director Advanced Server11.0 Build 12063

Acronis Disk Director Advanced Server is a complex software application that implements approachable and effective solutions for managing hard disks and volumes on local and remote computers.

Intuitive interface

The GUI is user-friendly, based on a large window that allows you to manage the local or a remote machine via LAN, provided that the Acronis Disk Director Advanced Agent was previously installed.

Disk management tools and settings

It is possible to resize, move, copy, merge, split, format, defragment, edit, hide or check volumes for errors, change their labels or letters, convert them to local, modify the partition type and cluster size, as well as to browse their files.The settings can be seamlessly adjusted, even by beginners. For example, when it comes to resizing a volume, you can tweak the unallocated space before or after the volume, edit its total capacity, as well as leave it as a basic volume or convert it into a simple/spanned one. Aside from creating a basic or simple/spanned drive, it is possible to build a striped one.

Other disk operations and program settings

Acronis Disk Director Advanced Server also lets you study the hexadecimal code of a drive and make adjustments if you're experienced enough to do so, build bootable media, examine log details with any errors, hide popup messages when a task succeeds with warnings, fails or completes successfully, as well as customize the font for the application and menu.

Evaluation and conclusion

As expected from such a complex tool, it runs on a significant amount of memory. However, no error messages popped up in our tests, and Acronis did not hang or crash. Taking into account its advanced, yet intuitive options, Acronis Disk Director Advanced Server can be handled by most users looking to administer disks and volume on local and remote machines with minimum effort.
