Startup Recovery Manager fails to activate
When I try to install Startup Recovery Manager it give a error message that it failed to activate. No F11 Option shows up when I boot up.
It is running on a Mac Pro 3.1 running Windows 10 through Boot Camp. The original Apple HD has been removed, so it will boot to Windows directly, which works fine.
I also tried to create a recovery image on a USB Stick. I am able to get into the boot manager through pressing Alt and the USB is showing up as a bootable volume "UEFI Boot" but when I try to boot from it, it won't boot up.

It is a native Windows 10 System, just the hardware is a Mac Pro 3.1. It boots native into Windows and the Apple Partition is physically removed.
The stick is exactly that: An Acronis Rescue Media USB stick I created in Windows 10, ATI 2018 for Windows I am trying to boot from. I can select it in the bootloader, but it will not boot from there.

Florian, it sounds like all should work OK but I don't know how different the hardware is for your Mac Pro computer compared to a standard Windows one?
Does your USB Rescue media stick boot OK on any other computers you have access to?

It's basically all Windows compatible hardware. I am running Windows 10 on it just fine. The stick boots other Windows machines. I also tried a Windows and a Linux version of the boot stick, but they both don't work.
The only thing I can imagine being the problem is the boot loader Apple is using.

I can only suggest either opening a Support Case with Acronis to have them help you investigate this issue, or else (or both) open a new topic in the ATI for Mac Forum to see if there any other folk out there who have tried to do the same with Mac hardware running native Windows?

I managed to create a bootable USB drive by booting into OS X and creating a Recovery Media in Acronis for Mac. But when I boot from it and launch Acronis to recover the Windows Media, it will tell me that Acronis for Mac does not support Files created under Acronis for Windows.
I am running out of options here. Anybody have an idea what else i could try? In a nutshell, i need to boot from a external volume on my Mac Pro 5.1, running ONLY Windows 10 (not through bootcamp) which contains a version of Acronis which is able to recover a disk from a backup made with Acronis True Image 2018.
