Procedures of disk image creation (restoration) on a hard disk (from a hard

differences will be described below).
Acronis TrueImage Deluxe software runs either under Windows from the Start
menu, or from a specially created bootable diskette or CD.
Disk operations are delayed in Acronis TrueImage Deluxe. It means that a
partition or disk image creation (or restoration) script is created first, and
then executed only when you are ready. Until a script is executed you can
return one or a few steps back to select another disk and/or partition and
image creation parameters.
