Universal Restore and Home

I’m aware that Universal Restore can only be installed with a machine running TI workstation. But can a Universal Restore boot CD restore an Images generated by TI home 10.


Looking at the difference between the two versions, the only thing that interests me in Workstation is that you can also install Universal Restore. So would it make sense to purchase one TI Workstation with Universal Restore and then a number of TI homes?

Thanks

 

If I understand the method of operation and licensing it wouldn't make sense. Even though you have an image created by Home you would be using Workstation and Universal Restore on that machine to do the restore which would mean that you need a Workstation/UR license for it.

 

This is where I’m confused, I understand if you have TI workstation on your computer you will be able to install universal restore, which will then allow you to create a boot CD.

The boot CD can be used on any machine, that’s the point of it. Now not having not used universal restore, I think when you boot from the CD you load drivers which means you will be able to see the device on which a backup image resides and then restore, so my original question was, if the image was produced by TI 10 Home will universal restore work with it or does it only recognise images created with TI 9 Workstation?

Does this make sense?

 

From the Acronis site:

Preparation
Step 1: Install the Acronis Universal Restore option. Please note that Acronis True Image 9.1 must be licensed and installed for Acronis True Image Universal Restore to function.

Step 2: Create bootable media with the Universal Restore option selected.

Now you are ready to replace any system!



Restoration with Acronis Universal Restore
You can restore an image to a new system in 5 easy steps.

Step 1: Boot your replacement system with the bootable media you created and select Recovery in the Acronis True Image menu
Step 2: Select the image to restore and the Acronis Universal Restore option
Step 3: Acronis Universal Restore initiates the restore process ...


You need to create a bootable media with the UR option selected and you use this media with the UR to recover. The fact that the program is on a bootable media that can be carried to various machines does not remove the requirement to have a license for any machine it is being used on.
