Live bootable 7 64bit dvd

Yes, you can create the Recovery disc from the TI program.
I'm pretty sure you can also use the Original CD to run TI and do Backups and Restores.
I use Acronis TI 2009.

Be sure to make the Acronis Rescue disk in case Win7 becomes unbootable. I also make my images from mine, as I don't like the services Acronis turns on in Win7 which I must keep editing.

It's risky to keep your backup image on the same HD.

If you have Acronis Univeral Restore on your version then you can also reimage to any other hardware.

If you do a restore action, it automatically formats the C drive. There is no need to prep the partition yourself.

How good of a job does it perform ? Reason why I am asking I have done it and it seem to do it so quick , were as when you do a reformat with windows disk management it seem to do a really good job ... Am I wrong to think other wise ? Thanks

Greg,
Can the Acronis services cause problems?
I let them run on my systems, and haven't ever found them to cause issues.

Thanks, David

The only way I've ever used (and will ever use) Acronis is to have a bootable CD and image from the installed HD to an external HD, using an external HD caddy. I don't see the point in having it constantly running on a PC.

That how I am set up as well , though I even have 2 external drive just to be safer lol

Hi David -

I don't like anything running in the background except Windows services, especially an app I use only rarely.

I found live bootable disc by broken glass
