Hi!

Tried creating a bootable media with license but we cannot backup the entire machine.

How to resolve this?

Thank you.

Hi,

From the bootable media interface there is no such item as "Entire machine" backup - on your screen shot you have already selected all disks to be backed up which essentially means that entire machine will be backed up. In other words there is nothing wrong and you can simply create backup with the current selection (the "Disks" section should be expandable to list of all disks present in the system).

Thank you.

If the disks will only be backed up, the restoration will be only disks/volumes, the restoration of the whole machine will not be available?

But how to backup the whole machine using bootable media? It says that the bootable media can backup the whole machine if the bootable media is created with a license. We tried it before but in the latest 12.5 is not possible.

Hi,

Selecting all disks/volumes = selecting entire machine. In other words you should just proceed with the backup creation - it will include all required data for recovery of entire machine. Also note that you can manage the bootable media via web console interface - when creating the media, specify the Acronis Management Server address and the booted machine will appear in Devices list in web console - in web console UI you will be able to select "Entire machine" as source for backup for this machine, which is essentially totally equal to backup all disks/volumes in the machine.

Thank you.
