Booting from a image - help

I have Acronis True Image 9.1 Workstation.

How does one go about booting from an exisiting backup image which resides
on/in a drive or SecureZone ?

I do not see any options for it in the application.

I notice there are multiple applications which can be installed upon the initial running of the setup file aside from the Acronis True Image Workstation setup.

Must I install one of these other applications to have the ability to boot from an image?

Thanks

 

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, you must Restore an Image before you can get a bootable system.

 

Maybe we're getting our terminology mixed up, but you can't boot from an image; it's just a file.
If you cloned your drive, you should be able to boot from the new clone (assuming the source drive was bootable).

 

I do see on the main acronis page one of the new features of ATI 9.1 is "boot from a image backup"..which does sound like you can boot from the image file. once you've saved an image in the secure zone, then select recovery..then select secure zone as the source. it wil lthen ask which of 3 restore types you want to do:
1. snap restore
2. restor edisk or partition
3. restore files or folders.
at least thats what happened when I did it, which should be the same for you?

 

Hello biiikman,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis Remote Workstation Disk Backup Software.

Yes, both Acronis True Image 9.1 Workstation and Acronis True Image 9.1 Enterprise Server for Windows have the new feature called Acronis One-Click Restore. It allows one-click data recovery from an image archive, stored on a removable media. Please read section 6.3.9 of Acronis True Image 9.1 Workstation User's Guide for further details.

Thank you.

“When backing up to removable media, you can make this media bootable by writing to it additional components. Thus, you will not need a separate rescue disk.“

OK – While this will make the removable media bootable, the image itself is not. Big difference if somebody thinks they can just copy the image file onto another CD/DVD and have it bootable.
This also does not address the OPs question concerning the Secure Zone.
I still say an “image” is not bootable.

 

On second thought, Alexey does answer the Ops question about booting from a SZ image in a round about way – you can’t.
