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.
If your Mac includes the Apple T2 chip then you need to modify Secure Boot settings in order to boot from Acronis Bootable Rescue Media: see Acronis True Image on Mac: Changing startup options on Apple T2 chip
Follow these steps to create Acronis bootable rescue media:
1. Connect a removable drive to your Mac
The drive must have 4 GB (or more) of free space.
For example, you can use an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. Note that CD and DVD media are not supported.
2. If your Mac is running on Apple silicon processor, format the removable drive manually before creating Acronis Bootable Media.
3. Open Acronis True Image 2021
4. In the File menu, click Create Acronis Bootable Media. The Acronis Media Builder window opens
5. Click on Create Media
6. Select the drive that you want to make bootable
7. Click Create Media. If the drive is not empty, Acronis True Image 2021 will ask you to confirm deleting all the data stored on the drive.
To confirm, click Erase
8. When the progress is complete, disconnect the media and keep it in a safe place.
You can store your own data on the media, but make sure that you do not delete or modify the Acronis boot files.
We recommend that you create a new rescue media every time you upgrade your macOS to a newer version. Otherwise, your rescue media may not work properly.
