Restoring with F11?

Hi everyone,
I read somewhere that Acronis TI 10 allows restoring with key F11.
Can someone tell me more about it?
Thank you.

 

You must first enable Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.

Press F11 when you see the "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager" message when you power up.

This will run a standalone version of Acronis True Image Home that only slightly differs from the complete version.

 

Hi,
When does one uses it ?
What does it do more?
Thank you.

 

The Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (F11) lets you start Acronis True Image Home without loading the operating system.

With this feature, if the operating system won't load for some reason, you can run Acronis True Image Home by itself to restore damaged partitions. As opposed to booting from Acronis removable media, you will not need a separate media or network connection to start Acronis True Image Home.

 

Hi!
It sounds like a great feature,doesn't it?

Thanks to both of you.

 

babac,

You should be aware that if the hard drive fails, you'll still need to boot from the rescue cd so make sure it works, just in case.

 

Hi MudCrab,
Good point.
Thank you.
