Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup full version

Includes support of USB, PC Card (formerly PCMCIA) and SCSI interfaces along with the storage

devices connected via them, and therefore is strongly recommended.

Acronis System Report

This component allows you to generate a system report after booting from the rescue media

when both Windows and Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup full version cannot start.

In the next window you can set Bootable media startup parameters in order to configure rescue

media boot options for better compatibility with different hardware. Several options are

available (nousb, nomouse, noapic, etc.). For all the available startup parameters see Startup

Parameters (p. 97). These parameters are provided for advanced users. If you encounter any

hardware compatibility problems while testing boot from the rescue media, it may be best to

contact Acronis Technical Support.

The Start automatically after parameter specifies the timeout interval for the boot menu. If this

parameter is not specified, the program will display the boot menu and wait for you to select

whether to boot the OS or the Acronis component. If you set, for example, 10 sec for Acronis

rescue media, the standalone Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup will launch 10 seconds after

the menu is displayed.

To find out more about components of other Acronis products, see their respective user guides.

3. Select the type of bootable media (CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW or 3.5” diskettes) to create. If your BIOS

has this feature, you can create other bootable media such as removable USB flash drives. You

can also choose to create a bootable disk ISO image.

When using 3.5" diskettes, you will only be able to write one component at a time (for example, the full

version of Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup) on a set of diskettes. To write another component, start

Bootable Media Builder again.

4. If you are creating a CD, DVD or any removable media, insert a blank disc so the program can

determine its capacity. If you choose to create a bootable disc ISO image, specify the ISO file

name and the folder in which to place it.

5. Next, the program will estimate how many blank diskettes are required (in case you have not

chosen ISO or CD/DVD) and give you time to prepare them. When you are finished, click Proceed.

After you create a bootable media, 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
