We strongly recommend creating a bootable media immediately after the first backup; if the operating system crashes, the only way to restore it from Acronis True Image backup is restoring from the bootable media.
You can create a rescue bootable media - a standalone version of Acronis True Image that you can use to boot a crashed machine or a machine without any operating system and restore an image of your system.
Follow these steps below to create a bootable media:
1. Open Acronis
2. In the Tools section, click Rescue Media Builder
3. Choose media creation method:
- Simple—This is the easiest option, suitable for most users. Acronis True Image will choose the optimal media type for your computer. If you use Windows 7 or a later version, WinRE-based media will be created. Otherwise, Acronis Media Builder will create a Linux-based media
- Advanced—This option allows you to choose a media type, therefore you can create the rescue media not only for your computer, but for a computer running a different Windows version
4. If you choose simple, select a destination for the media:
- CD/DVD
- USB flash drive
- ISO image file (you can burn the ISO image to CD/DVD separately)
- WIM image file (available only for WinPE-based media)
5. Click Proceed
