How to Exit from Acronis True Image 2014 Standalone Version?

Thread needs solution

When booting from bootable media with the standalone version of Acronis True Image 2014 in order to do backups and restores, is there an "Exit" command anywhere that will exit Acronis and shutdown? I don't see an "Exit" command in ATI 2012, for example. I'm asking specifically about the bootable standalone version. If there is no "Exit" command, am I expected to just power off the system in order to shutdown? And are there no file system corruption issues in doing this?

Thanks.

There's a checkbox that tells it to shutdown upon completion.

Thank you, tuttle, for your response. That checkbox will work for some situations, but not for others. If I boot into the standalone version, but then decide not to make a backup or restore and want to exit, how do I do it?

Use the power button.

You can also just press the X button in the top right hand corner (normal Windows close button), this will cause TI to close and reboot the system.

So, just so I understand this correctly, if I happen to forget to check the "shutdown on completion" checkbox when I do a restore, and then after the restore is finished, if I power off the system, is Acronis guaranteed to have done a file system sync as part of the restore, or am I risking file system corruption when I power off the system? Forgive me if this is a stupid question.

Right. I was going by his request which was for shutdown.

There's no "File system sync". ATI will restore what you set it to restore. If it's a full disk restore or partition restore, the disk or partition will be identical to what it was in the backup image, which would include file system as well as everything else.

Yes, you can shutdown with power button, as I said. I do it often.

OK--it's making more sense to me now.

Thank you tuttle and colin b for you time. I appreciate it.
