Creating bootable media
In some cases, Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows can be run only from a
special bootable diskette or CD. Such a case might be if your server does not boot
up normally.
You can create bootable media during or after the installation.
For this, you will need a CD-R/RW blank, several formatted diskettes (the bootable
media wizard will tell you the exact number), or any other media your server can
boot from, such as a Zip drive.
Click Create Bootable Rescue Media on the toolbar or the sidebar, or select
Create Bootable Rescue Media from the Tools menu.
You can also create bootable media without loading Acronis True Image Server 8.0
for Windows itself by selecting Programs
for Windows
You will see the bootable media wizard that will ask you to select either complete,
or safe loader version. The latter doesn't have USB, PC card (PCMCIA), SCSI drivers
and is useful only in case the complete version doesn't work.
After you create a boot disk, identify it and keep it in a safe place.
