Creating bootable media

You can run Acronis True Image 2019 from a bootable media 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 using the sector-by-sector mode to image the disk. To do so, you need bootable media that has a copy of the standalone Acronis True Image 2019 version installed on it.

How you can obtain bootable media:

• Use the installation CD, DVD, or USB drive of the boxed product.
• Make a media bootable with Acronis Media Builder:
  • Blank CD
  • Blank DVD
  • External drive (HDD or SSD)
  • USB flash drive

    Note: The data it may contain will not be modified.

  • Create an .iso image file to burn it afterwards onto a CD or DVD.
  • Create a WinPE-based media with the Acronis plug-in.
• Download an .iso image file (about 650 MB) from the Acronis website:
  1. Go to https://account.acronis.com/, and then log in to your Acronis account.
  2. In the Products section, find Acronis True Image, click Downloads, and then click Bootable Media.

     When the file is downloaded, burn it onto a CD or DVD.
