Cannot boot from recovery media.
I am new to Acronis and still using it on trial to see if I like it. So far seams as very well thought out product. However, I need some help here. I am running full PC back up, 500 GB SSD is backing up to my other conventional HDD.
To make sure I can get my system recovered, in case all fails, I've created a Linux environment bootable USB media, 16GB Fat 32.
On attempt to boot up, I am getting a message: MBR Error 3, MBR Error 1. Press and key to boot from floppy.
My system is Windows 10 professional.
Any ideas?

If I understood you correctly, the USB is formatted with MBR partition scheme but PC is set to boot from EFI device or vice versa?
I have looked in UEFI and located a setting: Storage Boot Control - Disabled, Legacy Only, UEFI, and tried all of those options. The result is the same.
There is also another option: Legacy USB support: Disabled, Legacy Only, UEFI and tried different combinations of this and above but not luck. Further, some of the combination cause my PC stop booting.
According to Rufus the USB drive is partitioned as GPT for UEFI.
One odd thing however, for some reason according to BIOS (UEFI) the boot manager is on the disk that it should not be on. The disk I've installed later on solely for backup purpose. Or I am misreading the what this is telling me?

It looks as my SSD is an MBR disk afterall. The 2nd HDD has boot manager on it because it was pulled out of my previous laptop. I might be getting closer to figuring this one out.

Your USB media does not boot because it has a GPT partition style. This should be an MBR partition style with FAT32 filesystem. If you recreate the media with this formatting when you atempt to boot the machine you should see 2 boot entries for the media. One will have UEFI in the name of the media. With your bios settings returned to what they were prior to any changes you made selecting the boot entry with UEFI in the media name should proof successful in booting the media.
