Recovery Media

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Recovery Media menu item has an entry labeled utilities, but there is no utilities available, and no icon is associated with the entry. IOW nothing happen when the item is clicked, so why is it there?

Olav, can you clarify your question please?  Which version of the Recovery Media are you referring to - there are several available, i.e. the original installation CD which can double as recovery media, the standard, Linux based, media and the optional Windows PE rescue media?

Also, the recovery media can be created in different ways which can give it different contents, i.e. via the Rescue Media Builder tool, or by using the Acronis Universal Recovery creation tool (which can include other utilities such as Acronis Disk Director as well as True Image).

Hi and thanks for reply.

Tried both the Linux and Windows-PE version from Rescue Media Builder and also the downloaded Boot Media,iso file.

No CD and no Acronis Universal Recovery Creation tool has been used.

Olav, the images below were captured from the standard, Linux, Acronis 2017 Rescue Media.

Hi,

I have the same menu/items. It is the "Utilities" entry in the second image I had in mind. What utilities is in question?

Acronis support says that I can enable the try and decide by clicking on tools and utilities from the Recovery Media, but I don't see try and decide there.

Pretty confusing menu layout if you ask me.

Olav, sorry but in this case, Acronis support are not correct, there are no options related to using Try & Decide available in the Acronis Rescue Media menu.

This has to be enabled from the main ATIH GUI - Tools menu where you need to configure where you will store virtual changes to allow the same to be rolled back (on reboot).

The Rescue Media menus have not changed significantly across many different versions of the product and reflect the main GUI of the older versions in structure.
