How can I burn Acronis True Image images to DVD disks?
Acronis True Image can burn images to DVD disks under Windows if you have DVD
UDF recording software installed. The DVD disk must be formatted. Currently, the
program supports at least the following DVD recording software:
• Roxio DirectCD — optional component of Roxio Easy CD Creator
• Ahead InCD — available on the Nero Web site freely for Ahead Nero Burning
Rom users (usually bundled with Nero)
• Veritas DLA and all its OEM versions (e.g. HP DLA)
• Pinnacle InstantCD/DVD
In general, the program also supports all other DVD UDF burst recording software,
but the aforementioned applications were tested by Acronis for compatibility with
Acronis True Image.
To enable image recording to DVD in Acronis True Image, you should do the
following:
• Install DVD UDF recording software.
• Format DVD disks. DVD+RW and DVD-RW disks can be formatted in any of the
aforementioned applications, while DVD-R and DVD+R formatting is currently
supported by Roxio DirectCD only.
• Run Acronis True Image, insert a formatted DVD disk into your DVD+RW or
DVD-RW drive and create an image. No other special actions are required.
Images stored on DVD disks can be restored under Windows and when Acronis
True Image is loaded from its boot disk.
There is another way to burn an image to a DVD disk. Using Acronis True Image,
you can create an image on your hard disk and burn it using the installed DVD
recording application to a DVD disk afterwards. You will be able to restore images
from such disks under Windows and when Acronis True Image is loaded from the
bootable media.
