Kimsufi server preparation

• Démarrer notre Machine virtuel sur un liveCD, par exemple DebianLive :
• Définir un hostname pour facilement identifier la destination de la restoration

root@debian:~#  hostname testrestore

• Installation of Acronis Agent Installation_agent_Linux[[3]]
• Creation of partitions manually
• In case you don't want to have as much disk space

root@debian:~# fdisk /dev/xvda
