Acronis True Image 9 Question

If my PC should ever fail to boot up, it's not clear how I would restore the system. Must I burn my backup image to one or more DVD disks and then attempt to boot from those disks?

TIA

Jim

 

Either that or save your backup image on an usb external hard drive or even a second internal hard drive. In any case you must have the TI bootable rescue CD made beforehand. This will allow you to boot from the CD which will "see" the backup images you have on the DVDs or external hard drive.

 

Thank you for your reply.

When I attempt to create a bootable rescue Cd, Acronis tells me it can't find a floppy disk on my system. That's true, one of my network computers does not have a floppy - now what do I do?

Hello jim31,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Please be aware that you should have a CD burner locally connected to your computer in order to create Bootable Rescue CD using Acronis Bootable Rescue Media Builder. Acronis True Image 9.0 does not allow you to burn bootable rescue CD over the network. You should use a blank unformatted CD-R or CD-RW in order to create a Bootable Rescue CD.

Please note that you can also create Bootable Rescue Media on a floppy diskettes or USB flash drive (it should be FAT32 formatted and recognized as a removable media). You can find more information on how to create Bootable Rescue Media in section 10.2 of Acronis True Image 9.0 User's Guide.
