complete backup without boot media

Thread needs solution

I would like to do complete backups without boot media added to the backup disk.  The last time I made a disk with bootable media the disk became unusable, and I had to send it back to Samsung to be re-formatted.

Kenneth, can you clarify what type of boot media is being added here?

With ATI 2019, the option to create the Acronis Survival Kit on the backup drive is optional and it is for the user to decide if that is what they want or not.

The previous options in the Advanced settings page to include boot media was only for backups to optical media such as CD or DVD, so didn't apply to those to backups HDD drives.

Kenneth - ditto to Steve.  Just don't use the option to create an Acronis Survival Kit.  Instead, you can create different bootable rescue media (to a different USB flash drive or DVD), by using the rescue media builder and directing the media to built there instead.
