You can create a rescue bootable media - a standalone version of Acronis True Image that you can use to boot a crashed machine or a machine without any operating system and restore an image of your system. Follow the instructions below to create a bootable media.

How to create Acronis Bootable Media on a Windows computer
1. In the Tools section, click Rescue Media Builder:
2. Choose media creation method:
Simple—This is the easiest option, suitable for most users. Acronis True Image will choose the optimal media type for your computer. If you use Windows 7 or a later version, WinRE-based media will be created. Otherwise, Acronis Media Builder will create a Linux-based media.
Advanced—This option allows you to choose a media type, therefore you can create the rescue media not only for your computer, but for a computer running a different Windows version.
We recommend to test your bootable media so that you can be sure it will boot when needed: see User Guide for instructions.
How to create Acronis Bootable Media on a Mac
We strongly recommend creating a bootable media immediately after the first backup; if the operating system crashes, the only way to restore it from Acronis True Image backup is restoring from the bootable media.
The drive must have 4 GB (or more) of free space. For example, you can use an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. Note that CD and DVD media are not supported.
2. If your Mac is running on Apple silicon processor, format the removable drive manually before creating Acronis Bootable Media.
Format the destination drive manually before creating bootable media:
Open Disk Utility
The list of available drives on the left in Disk Utility window. Choose the external drive you'd like to use for Acronis Bootable Media
Click on the Erase option from the four options available in the main window.
Select the following values for erasing the disk:
Format:Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Partition scheme: GUID partition map
Click Erase to format the drive
3. Open Acronis True Image 2021.
4. In the File menu, click Create Acronis Bootable Media. The Acronis Media Builder window opens.
5. Select the drive that you want to make bootable.
6. Click Create Media. If the drive is not empty, Acronis True Image 2021 will ask you to confirm deleting all the data stored on the drive. To confirm, click Erase.
7. When the progress is complete, disconnect the media and keep it in a safe place. You can store your own data on the media, but make sure that you do not delete or modify the Acronis boot files.
We recommend that you create a new rescue media every time you upgrade your macOS to a newer version. Otherwise, your rescue media may not work properly.
