One-Click

Does Acronis True Image 10 have One-Click?

I don't seem to be able to find it.

The option to include the Acronis media components, including One-Click Restore, is only available when imaging direct to CD or DVD.

If you haven't selected media components and one-click as a default option (Tools > Options > Default backup options) then you need to choose "Set the options manually" when presented with the "Choose Backup Options" window.

Be careful how you use the One-Click Restore feature!! It will delete any partition on the destination drive that isn't included in the image being restored. e.g. Say your HD contains C, D and E partitions and you choose to image only the C partition to optical media and include the TI + One-Click Restore media components. If you then use One-Click to restore that image your existing D and E partitions will be deleted. You have been warned. :P :)

There is a feature much like One-Click restore for those that store their images on HDD rather than CD/DVDs.
It shares the same constaints and needs the same warnings as One-Click. It is called Snap-Restore and its source images must be in a secure zone. It cannot be used to restore to a spare or replacement hard drive. It has to overwrite the existing drive.
For this and several other reasons I have never used Snap-Restore so cannot really comment on its effectivness. I have read that although it can get a system up and running quite quickly it will go on running for a long time in the background.

Thank you Menorcaman,

Found the option and tested it.

It's painfully slow backing up on CD/DVD.
