7.2.1 Acronis Media Builder

You can run Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition from an emergency boot disk on a

bare-metal system or a crashed computer that cannot boot. You can even back up disks on a

non-Windows computer, copying all its data into the backup by imaging the disk one sector at a time.

To do so, you will need bootable media that has a copy of the standalone Acronis True Image Home

2011 Netbook Edition version installed on it.

You can create bootable media using the Bootable Media Builder. For this, you will need a blank

CD-R/RW, a blank DVD+R/RW or any other media from which your computer can boot, such as a USB

flash drive.

Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition also provides the ability to create an ISO image of a

bootable disc on the hard disk.

If you have other Acronis products, such as Acronis Disk Director Suite installed on your computer,

you can include standalone versions of these programs on the same bootable disk as well.

If you have chosen not to install the Bootable Media Builder during Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook

Edition installation, you will not be able to use this feature.

When booting from the Rescue Media, you cannot perform backups to disks or partitions with Ext2/Ext3/Ext4,

ReiserFS, and Linux SWAP file systems.
