Acronis backup and recovery

Thread needs solution

Hi,

What I'm not sure about is if I use this product to backup my data, and for some reason the hard disk becomes corrupted and won't boot into the OS. Assuming I backed up to DVD can I then boot the system from DVD or do I have to re-install the OS, install Acronis software and recover the data that way?

Thanks in advance.

Charles,

If you are using TIH you can either put the bootable components onto the image DVD or make a recovery CD.

Either way if your images take up more than two DVD's you are in for a lot of DVD swapping.
