Create bootable (DVD)disk recovery image ?

Thread needs solution

Ok, just got done with a complete recovery of a dell 1501 laptop.
Went through a ton of updates and actually had to restart due to a failure in the update process along the way.
It is now in top shape, with all updates spyware, antivirus addes, crapware removed etc.

NOW i am curious, is there a way to make a bootable recovery disk ( DVD) from the current disk image?

So that when this this goes to heck again they can just pop the disk in a bring it back to where it is now?

I have acronis true image 2009, but haven used it much to know if it is capable of this.

Hello,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help. Please accept our apologies for the delay with the response.

Acronis True Image Home 2009 allows you to do it. When backing up to removable media, you can make this media bootable and will not need a separate rescue disk. You can set these backup options by editing the default backup options while creating a backup task. To get the access to these options you should select your DVD-ROM as a target for the backup operation.

The Acronis One-Click Restore is a minimal addition to your rescue media, allowing one-clickdata recovery from an image archive stored on this media. This means that when booting from the media and clicking “restore,” all data will be restored to its original place automatically. No options or selections such as resizing partitions will be available.
If you want more functionality during restoration, write a full standalone version of AcronisTrue Image Home to the rescue media. As a result, you will be able to configure the restore task using Restore Data Wizard.
By clicking the Advanced tab you can select Acronis True Image Home (full version) and Acronis True Image Home (safe version). The safe version will be available for those who purchased the boxed version of Acronis True Image Home and installed the appropriate addon.
If you have other Acronis products installed on your computer, such as Acronis Disk Director Suite, the bootable versions of these programs’ components will be offered on this tab as well.

Please let us know the results, we should be sure that the program runs flawlessly. If the provided information is not clear or if you have any other question do not hesitate to post them and we will be glad to answer.

Thank you.
