Difference between AcronisUniversalRestore.iso and AcronisTrueImage2014P_en-US.iso
Subject line says all. What is the difference between AcronisUniversalRestore.iso and AcronisTrueImage2014P_en-US.iso for a 2014 Premium licensee?
Thanks,

So if restoring to the same hardware only AcronisTrueImage2014P_en-US.iso is needed.
AcronisUniversalRestore.iso is only needed for restoring to new or dissimilar hardware like a Windows F6 install, correct?

Not quite, new hardware such as HDD/SDD, would not require Universal Restore. On the other hand installing a new motherboard would require Universal Restore. Basically if your hardware changes in significant ways like a change that requires different drivers be used for the new hardware for example, then Universal Restore is needed.

Sorry to jump in on your topic, but this is the only place I could find to list a topic. I've been using forums for more years than I like to remember. Aand this has to be the best kept secret on where to start.
I set up a USB to run my Acronis Universal Restore. It set up fine. I included all my drivers under folders that listed their general name. I don't know this created a problem for me. But as I look at my USB drive. I have the following folders:
a. efi
b. Recovery Manager
c. System Volume Information
. None of the above seem to contain the drivers being looked for. I'm on a page that lists Actions, Tools, Help. I have choices of Operating system, Automatic driver search, Mass storage drivers to install any way. I'm currently on the Automatic driver search. And this is where the problem lies. I cannot seem to locate the drivers is looking for. Where would these drivers be and would they be visible to me, , not hidden files. My choice under Automatic driver search is to either have it on or off and also to add a folder. Yes, I'm a bit confused.
