1537: Standalone Version of Acronis Backup Software
What a standalone version of an Acronis backup software is and what features it offers
Description
The standalone version (Acronis Bootable Media) of any Acronis backup product is an exclusive recovery environment for restoring images. Additionally, it allows you to create images, clone hard disk drives, partition new hard disk drives without having to boot into Windows. It has the same graphical interface as when you run your copy of an Acronis backup product under Windows.
The standalone version is based on the Linux operating system and uses Linux drivers for getting access to all hardware devices.
You can run the standalone version of your copy of an Acronis backup product from bootable media (a CD-R(W) disc, a DVD+R(W), DVD-R(W) a set of floppy diskettes, a USB flash card or a ZIP-diskette).
(!) Standalone version of Acronis products does not support Wi-Fi network cards.
More information
Disk letters in the standalone version of Acronis products might sometimes differ from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in Acronis Bootable Media might correspond to the E: drive in Windows. The reason for this is that Linux has its own rules of drive naming (See Chapter 2.1.1 Naming Convention at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/pdf/Partition.pdf). This is absolutely normal and there is no need to worry about the difference in drive letters assignment. See also Acronis Bootable Media Displays Wrong Drive Letters.
