Using Bart PE
You can create a Bart PE image with Acronis Plug-in using the Bart PE Builder. Please refer to Building
Bart PE with Acronis Plug-in from Windows distribution (p. 259) for details.
6.10.1.1 Linux-based bootable media
When using the media builder, you have to specify:
1. [optional] The parameters of the Linux kernel. Separate multiple parameters with spaces.
For example, to be able to select a display mode for the bootable agent each time the media
starts, type: vga=ask
For a list of parameters, see Kernel parameters (p. 254).
2. The Acronis bootable components to be placed on the media.
Universal Restore can be enabled if Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore is
installed on the machine where the media is created.
3. [optional] The timeout interval for the boot menu plus the component that will automatically
start on timeout.
If not configured, the Acronis loader waits for someone to select whether to boot the
operating system (if present) or the Acronis component.
If you set, say, 10 sec. for the bootable agent, the agent will launch 10 seconds after the
menu is displayed. This enables unattended onsite operation when booting from a PXE
server or WDS/RIS.
4. [optional] Remote logon settings:
user name and password to be entered on the console side at connection to the agent. If you
leave these fields empty, the connection will be enabled on typing any symbols in the
prompt window.
