Bootable DVD

Hi,
I am about to purchase this product with the DVD but I found supplied backup DVD is not bootable. What is that means? I can't boot up the DVD to perform backup and restore? I have True Image Home 2012 CD and it is able to do that. Do acronis stop the bootable method?

OK. But can I perform backup and restore using purchased DVD too? Is that possible?

Both backup tasks and restore tasks can be done using the recovery DVD or USB stick.

The purchased DVD is an installation disk for installing the application into Windows. It is not designed to run the program from the DVD disk.

Thats my question. I was able to run that from cd for previous version, Acronis True Home 2012. Can I say Acronis True Home 2016 is no longer able to run from CD feature?

Not sure that we are on the same page but I think the answer to your question is yes.

While the installation disc may no longer contain the bootable rescue environment, you can still download an ISO of the bootable rescue environment from your account after registering your serial number. You will then need to use a disk imaging utility and select the option to burn disc image to transfer the contents of the ISO to a CD or DVD. Many users make the mistake of simply burning a copy of the ISO to a DVD or CD which will not boot. The bootable rescue media can also be created with the installed True Image application.
