After you create a boot disc, mark it and keep it in a safe place.

Please keep in mind that the backups created by the later program version may be incompatible with

the previous program versions. Due to this reason, we strongly recommend that you create a new

bootable media after each Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition upgrade. One more thing

you should remember – when booting from the rescue media and using a standalone version of

Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition you cannot recover files and folders encrypted with

use of the encryption feature available in Windows XP and later operating systems. For more

information see File-level security settings for backup (p. 57). On the other hand, backups encrypted

using the Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition encryption feature can be recovered.

When booting from the rescue media you cannot recover image backups to GPT disks using a standalone

version of Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition.

7.3 Security and Privacy Tools

Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition contains utilities for erasing individual files and

eliminating traces of user system activity.

Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition provides for the destruction of confidential

information with the help of techniques that meet or exceed most national and state standards. You

can select an appropriate data destruction method depending on the importance of your confidential

information.

The System Clean-up wizard ensures elimination of all of the traces of your computer activities When

working on a PC, you leave thousands of bytes of evidence showing your actions. You may not even

be aware of these traces. This could include user names and passwords, as well as other personal

information that could be used to steal your identity if it fell into the wrong hands. This utility wipes

them all completely away from the disk drive.

The data destruction methods are described in detail in Hard Disk Wiping methods (p. 147) of this

guide.
