Media components

This option is effective for both Windows and Linux operating systems, when the backup destination is CD, DVD, or Blue-ray Disc (BD).

When backing up to this media, you can make this media work as regular Linux-based bootable media by writing additional components to it. As a result, you will not need a separate rescue disc.

The preset is: No bootable components.

Choose one of the following components you want to put on the bootable media:

• Acronis Bootable Agent is a bootable rescue utility (based on Linux kernel) that includes most of the functionality of the Acronis Backup agent. Put this component on the media if you want more functionality during recovery. You will be able to configure the recovery operation in the same way as under regular bootable media. If the media is being created in Windows, the disk management functionality will also be available.
• Acronis Bootable Agent and One-Click Restore. The One-Click Restore is the minimal addition to a disk backup stored on removable media, allowing for easy recovery from this backup. If you boot a machine from the media and click Run Acronis One-click Restore, the disk will be immediately recovered from the backup contained on the same media.

  Caution: Because the one-click approach does not presume user selections, such as selecting volumes to recover, Acronis One-Click Restore always recovers the entire disk. If your disk contains several volumes and you are planning to use Acronis One-Click Restore, include all the volumes in the backup. Any volumes missing from the backup will be lost.
