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.

The standalone version boots and runs successfully both on 32 bit and 64 bit machines.

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).

Backup archives created in Windows can be restored by Acronis Bootable Media and vice versa.

(!) 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.

The following standalone versions of Acronis products are based on Linux kernel version 2.4:

The following standalone versions of Acronis products are based on Linux kernel version 2.6:
