Combine and add additional software to True Image

Thread needs solution

Latest version of True Image  provides UEFI booting. My questions 

1. How to combine true image and disk director? 

2. Kaspersky rescue disk also allows UEFI booting but uses grub2 to boot. How do I add the grub command in bootx64.xml file located in efi/boot folder? 

The grub command 

menuentry "${kav}" {
    linux /boot/grub/k-x86_64 net.ifnames=0 lang=${lang} dostartx
    initrd /boot/grub/initrd.xz
}

Having True Image, Disk Director and Kaspersky rescue disk for removing virus without loading windows is the best combination of backup and recovery tools. 

Attached is the bootx64.xml file from true image and kav_menu.cfg file from kaspersky rescue disk for reference

I think you need to create a grub command to run the Boot Media ISO of True Image and Disk Director downloaded from your Acronis Account. 

What you are asking for is essentially a multiboot bootable media which contains all three apps.  You can do this in theory but it takes some work.  What you have to do is compile a script for grub2 that will boot the ISO files which will need to be on the media as well.

If you can convert the KAV to an ISO so that you can add it to the grub2 boot menu then you should be able to get all of them to run from a single media.

@Enchantech, Using grub2 to boot iso files takes time to boot. Kaspersky uses grub2 to load it's files. The iso contains grub2 files and cfg files. I prefer extracting the files from the ISO. Unfortunately could not find the right command to load true image or disk director. It worked perfectly in grub4dos 

Yeah, I used to do this myself with grub4dos prior to UEFI.  Could never git it working again in UEFI boot.

You might have a look at Easy2Boot which is Windows based to do this.  As for booting UEFI in Linux to do it I do not know.
