DVD with ATIH 2012

Thread needs solution

I have been send an email about a special offer for Acronis 2012. Is the DVD that is also being offered bootable? If not, why and when would it be a good thing to have a backup DVD?

IF the offer is from ACronis or reputable retailer, then the disk will be bootable but what you really want is the serial number so you can always down'oad the latest version, with which you can burn update bootable disks.

If you are going to restore a windows system partition/disk, you will need to boot from another disk.

Thanks for the reply Scott. Yes the offer came from Acronis. I asked about bootable because I read in the Acronis Knowledge Base that ATIH 2011 was not bootable. So have they changed things with this new version?

Re my comment above - "I asked about bootable because I read in the Acronis Knowledge Base that ATIH 2011 was not bootable" I meant that I had read that the DVD for ATIH 2011 was not bootable, hence my query about 2012's DVD.

Gwyn,
Any chance you can point us to the specific KB article?

Is this talking about the bootable recovery CD or a DVD created as part of a backup? The 2011 bootable Recovery CD created by the user from either the installed version or from the downloaded ISO file is bootable.

Sorry about the delay. I have failed to find the article in question. But I assume now it was about a DVD containing just general information, not bootable info. Thanks, anyway, to both respondents.
