Acronis True Image Workstation Install Menu Window
It is recommended that you install Acronis True Image Management Console first. After that
you will be able to install other components remotely to any networked computer.
For Acronis True Image Workstation and Acronis True Image Agent for Windows, Typical,
Custom and Complete installation is available. Having pressed Custom, you can choose to
install, besides the main component, Rescue Media Builder and Bart PE plug-in for
Acronis True Image Workstation, or Acronis Secure Zone manager for Acronis True
Image Agent.
With Rescue Media Builder you can create bootable rescue disks or RIS packages (see
details in
Chapter 10. Creating bootable media
). You might not need this tool if you
purchased a boxed product that contains a bootable CD. Installing the Bootable Rescue
Media Builder will allow you to create bootable media, its ISO image or a bootable RIS
package at any time from the main program window or running Bootable Rescue Media
Builder on its own.
Well-known Bart PE utility is used to boot Windows-like environment from CD. Applications
are installed into Bart PE in the form of plug-ins. Choosing Bart PE plug-in installation
(disabled by default) provides the ability to include Acronis True Image Workstation into Bart
PE plug-in tab. The plug-in files will be placed into the component installation folder along
with other program files.
