Right, well someone suggested this over ghost in another one of my threads. and i've seen you guys rave on about it for many moons now so i invested. and oh my this has to be one of the best applications i've ever come across! i haven't had to restore a backup yet (touch wood) but assuming its as easy as doing anything else with the app then im certinaly not afraid too. one thing that i dont understand though.

i was under the impression it had some kind of boot loader or something so you didnt have to use any media to get it up and running? now its not a problem i just burnt it onto a CD but im curious..?

you should always have bootable media such as a cd. and of course backup to another drive. not much point in having the hard drive bootable or storing your backups on the same drive if it fails.... :)
 
Aye.. currently backing up to my external drive.. and i dont mind having a CD to hand but i was just woundering if i could boot without a CD since it claims to be able to do that.. just me being lazy.. its just i like to restore windows often and im a lazy **** lol.. just curious.. wanna get what i paid for :D
 
The option you are looking for is called Activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager under the tools section of true image.

Hope this helps.
 
Ah thats what i clicked on at first but thought i was looking in the wrong place when it wanted to make its lil partition thing.. anyway thats perfect. cheers :)

Click to expand...
It will create a hidden partition on any drive you select (seperate internal drives are best), this is so the backup images can be saved in a safe place that can't be seen, deleted or infected by any other software, including virus's.
