6.10.1.4 Building Bart PE with Acronis Plug-in from Windows distribution
1. Get the Bart PE builder.
2. Install Bootable Media Builder from the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup file.
3. Change the current folder to the folder where the Acronis Plug-in for WinPE is installed—by
default: C:\Program Files\Acronis\Bootable Components\WinPE.
If the plug-in is installed in a folder other than the default folder, change the path accordingly
(check the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\Bootable
Components\Settings\WinPE for the plug-in location).
4. Run the following command:
export_license.bat
5. Copy the contents of the current folder—by default: C:\Program Files\Acronis\Bootable
Components\WinPE—to the %BartPE folder%\plugins\Acronis.
6. Insert your Windows distribution CD if you do not have a copy of Windows installation files on
the HDD.
7. Start the Bart PE builder.
8. Specify the path to the Windows installation files or Windows distribution CD.
9. Click Plugins and check whether the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 plug-in is enabled. Enable if
disabled.
10. Specify the output folder and the full path to the resulting ISO file including the file name or the
media to create.
11. Build the Bart PE.
12. Burn the ISO to CD or DVD (if this has not been done yet) or copy to a flash drive.
Once the machine boots into the Bart PE and you configure the network connection, select Go ->
System -> Storage -> Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 to start.

6.10.2 Connecting to a machine booted from media

Once a machine boots from bootable media, the machine terminal displays a startup window with
the IP address(es) obtained from DHCP or set according to the pre-configured values.
Remote connection
To connect to the machine remotely, select Connect -> Manage a remote machine in the console
menu and specify one of the machine's IP addresses. Provide the user name and password if
these have been configured when creating the bootable media.
Local connection
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console is always present on the bootable media.
Anyone who has physical access to the machine terminal can run the console and connect. Just
click Run management console in the bootable agent startup window.

6.10.3 Working under bootable media

Operations on a machine booted with bootable media are very similar to backup and recovery under
the operating system. The difference is as follows:
1. Disk letters seen under Windows-style bootable media might differ from the way Windows
identifies drives. For example, the D: drive under the rescue utility might correspond to the E:
drive in Windows.
