Acronis True Image Server for Linux standalone version has been copied to Acronis Secure
Zone by now. To enable the program launch at boot time by pressing F11 key, add an entry
to the configuration file, allowing boot from Acronis Secure Zone.
For example, if you use grub loader, add to /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst the
following lines:
title Acronis //or any desired title
root (hd0,3) //ASZ location (available on summary screen), here: disk 0, partition 3

grub-install /dev/hda //the hard disk from which grub will be loaded
When Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is activated, it overwrites the master boot record (MBR) with
its own boot code. If you have any third-party boot managers installed, you will have to reactivate
them after activating the Startup Recovery Manager. For Linux loaders (e.g. LiLo and GRUB), you
might consider installing them to a Linux root (or boot) partition boot record instead of MBR before
activating Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.
