To install Acronis True Image Home 2011:
Typical, Custom and Complete installation is available. By pressing Custom, you can choose not to install Rescue Media Builder.
With Rescue Media Builder you can create bootable rescue disks (see details in Creating bootable rescue media). You might not need this tool if you purchased a boxed product that contains a bootable CD. Installing the Bootable Rescue Media Builder will allow you to create bootable media or its ISO image at any time from the main program window or by running Bootable Rescue Media Builder on its own.
When installed, Acronis True Image Home 2011 creates a new device in the Device Manager list (Control Panel ->System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Acronis Devices -> Acronis True Image Backup Archive Explorer). Do not disable or uninstall this device, as it is necessary for connecting image backups as virtual disks (see Mounting an image).
