Default few questions about the ASRM

Hi,

Acronis True Image 7 is very a jewel, great features like the ASRM, auto detect of the CD burner, and secure zone.

I have questions regarding these features :
- is there a way to recover if the ASRM in the MBR is corrupted ?
- does the bootable CD is able to restore an image from the secure zone or is only the ASRM able to access it ?

For now ASRM works fine, image created successfully and checked.
The image explorer is nicely done too, it virtually mount it as a partition, very handy when you want to drag some folders from it.

My main concerns so, is when we don't use the ASRM, the bootable CD can access the image but the image isn't safe under Windows, and if we use the ASRM, what happens if the ASRM get corrupted and that Windows won't start ?

I think it's very unlikely to happen thought, but just in case, I need to know in advance

Thanks.

regards,

gkweb.

Ok I answer myself, the Boot CD seems to be able to read the secure zone

Hi, gkweb

Sorry to see you seem to answered your own post.

But I did say that in your first post in my reply to you, see [PS]:- #4

Which you must have missed.

Take Care,
TheQuest

Hi the quest,

even after reading it again, it isn't clear for me that the boot CD can access the secure zone, you just said that you didn't use the ASRM, so I was assuming at this time that you wasn't using the secure zone, simply

Ok now all is clear

Personally I prefer to have both ASRM and a bootable CD, just in case.

regards,

gkweb.

Does the ASRM work with bootloaders like grub installed into the MBR ?

Hello Klaine --

Thank you for taking the time to contact us and for your interest in Acronis
True Image (http://www.acronis.com/products/trueimage/)!

If your GRUB is in MBR, ASRM will overwrite it and it won't be available. So you need to place your GRUB loader somewhere else, cause ASRM overwites MBR and thus any other loaders there won't be available.

Thank you.
