Acronis Backup Bootable (ISO)

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I am using Acronis 11.7 and normally backup the Windows by bootable DVD. 

There are 02 options:

- Acronis Backup (32-bit)

- Acronis Backup (64-bit with UEFI Support)

What factors to select these options? 

How different between option: 32bit ; 64bit?

In case, BIOS is using Legacy, Windows 7 x64 PRO - but I still used Acronis Backup 64-bit (UEFI), is this OK?

 

Thank you,

Hoang

Hi,

If you only have a Legacy system, then your choice is a bootable media with 32-bit components. However, if you ever need to boot a machine that uses UEFI, you'll have to create a 64-bit media. So probably it would be easier to select both types of components. When booting a machine from the resulting media, you will be able to select 32-bit or 64-bit components on the boot menu.

Hi Surkova,

Thanks for your respond.

My boot media has both version already. 

If i have used "64bit UEFI" for Legacy system, so it is automatically detect legacy and go to boot normally? Any function is missing and different with 32bit version?

If i have used "32bit" for UEFI system? what going on? can make the image ? It should show error to switch to 64bit UEFI version?

Hoang

If your machine is using BIOS/Legacy, then you should be fine with both 32 or 64-bit versions.

If you have a UEFI system - use a 64-bit bootable media.
