Acronis Disk Director Suite Logical Organization
- Acronis Disk Director Suite provides two operation modes:
• Automatic partition operations mode is designed for the most frequent operations suitable for the majority of users
• Manual partition operations mode for any partition operations. This mode is intended for experienced users with some knowledge of disk data storage or-ganization; it provides full operational control
The main difference between the automatic and manual modes is that wizards perform operation series in the automatic mode and only single disk/partition operations in the manual mode. - Automatic partition operations
- In this mode, all actions are performed through task-based wizards.
• Create MiniTool Partition Wizard - enables you to create a partition from unallocated disk space or other partitions
• Increase free space wizard - enables you to enlarge a partition at the expense of unallocated disk space or other partitions
• Copy MiniTool Partition Wizard - enables you to copy a partition
• Recover partitions wizard - enables you to recover any deleted or damaged partitions
With these wizards, even an in-experienced user will be able to perform the recovery operations using step-by-step instructions. - Manual partition operations
- In this mode, experienced users have access to all Acronis Disk Director Suite features.
- Partition operations are performed by entering necessary parameters into dialog boxes.
- Switching modes
- Having selected an operation mode during installation, you can switch to another mode at any time. Select View -> Automatic Mode for the automatic mode or View -> Manual Mode for the manual.
