When you use the Acronis True Image Home rescue media, the product creates disk drive letters that might
differ from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in the standalone Acronis True
Image Home might correspond to the E: drive in Windows. To be on the safe side, it is advisable to assign unique
names to all partitions on your hard drives. This will make finding the disk containing your backups easier.
2) It may also be useful to complete all the steps in the Recovery Wizard right up to the Summary
screen, but not click the Proceed button. This will allow you to simulate the recovery process and to
make sure that Acronis True Image Home recognizes both the drive containing your backups and the
target drive. After completing all the Recovery Wizard's steps click Cancel on the Summary screen.
You may repeat this until you feel sure of your settings and choices.
3) Users of the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 now have a way of testing whether
they will be able to boot from the recovered system partition. Acronis True Image Home allows
booting from a tib file containing a system partition image (though it is converted into a VHD, which is
used for actual booting). So if you are able to boot from such backup, you almost certainly will be
able to boot after an actual recovery from that backup.
4.1.2 Additional recommendations
1) Many IT professionals recommend that you have at least two copies of your system backup (three
are even better). To be on the safe side, it is further recommended to keep one copy of a backup in a
different location from the other (preferably on other premises – for example, at work or at a friend's
home, if you use the backed up computer at home). One more argument in favor of several backups:
when starting recovery, Acronis True Image Home deletes the target partition (or disk), so when you
have just a single backup, the moment the system partition is deleted on the computer being
recovered you are at great risk - the only thing you have is the image being recovered and if it is
corrupted you are in big trouble.
2) It is better to format the hard drive used for storing your backups to the NTFS file system rather
than FAT32. This is due to the 4GB file size limit on FAT32 disks. So if your backup has a size of about
100GB, Acronis True Image Home will split it into 25 files. When there are several such full backups
on the hard disk, the number of files will multiply accordingly. This may be inconvenient if, for
example, you would like to move the backup to another location using Windows Explorer.
3) If you have only one computer at home, it is advisable to print some information that may be
helpful in recovering from a disaster, because you may not be able to use the Internet. Keep the
printed material in a safe place along with the rescue CD/DVD or another rescue media.
4.2 Testing bootable rescue media
To maximize the chances of your computer's recovery if need arises, you must test that your
computer can boot from the rescue media. In addition, you must make sure that the recovery media
contains all drivers required for operation of your mass storage devices and network adapter.
1) If you purchased a boxed version of the product that has a bootable CD, please, make sure that
your computer can boot from this CD. Though Acronis try to place drivers for the latest hardware on
the bootable CD, an almost infinite variety of hardware configurations exist, so we cannot give you a
one hundred percent guarantee of being able to boot from the rescue CD.
2) If you purchased the program after downloading it, you absolutely must create a bootable rescue
CD (or other rescue media, for example, a USB stick) following the recommendations given in the
User's Guide or program's Help and then make sure this rescue media is bootable on your computer.
