Run recoveries and backups from CD, or from installed Acronis?
Since it's possible to run manual backup and recovery operations from the bootable Acronis disk, or directly from the installed version, is there a difference which method is used?

Thanks, GroverH, for your response. Here's one more question. If backup and recovery can or are best done from the Acronis disk, then why bother to install Acronis onto Windows? Since all I do with Acronis is to manually backup and recover the entire drive C, do I really need to install it onto Windows at all?

If you download the iso file from your registration page and burn it as a Rescue CD, then no installation is necessary.
If you wish to create/burn the included Rescue CD, then an installation is necessary in order to get to the burn a CD or create a bootable FlashDrive or create an iso file from the included files. options.
Having TI installed does have some advantages and some options are available in Windows and not from the CD. If you have it installed, then you can automate the backups and use batch files or Chain2Gen to manage your archives.
The choice is yours. It depends upon your needs and desires.
