True Image without installing software

Thread needs solution

How can I install Acronis True Image 2019 to a bootable USB thumbdrive WITHOUT installing anything onto my PC? I don't want to install anything onto my system and I wish to have drive image completely autonomous. Any thoughts?

Brad, welcome to these public User Forums.

Simple answer to your question is that you can't.  The Acronis Rescue Media Builder application is a part of the installed Acronis True Image product and not available without installing the whole application.

That said, there is still an option to download an ISO image of the older, Linux based, Rescue Media from your Acronis Account provided you have registered your copy of ATI 2019.   The ISO is a CD image intended to be burnt to optical media, but you could use a tool such as Rufus or ISOtoUSB to create a bootable USB version of the media.

The other option would be to do a temporary install of ATI 2019, create the Windows PE version of the Rescue Media then after testing that all is OK, uninstall the Acronis application again.
