How to restore with no CD drive
I have used Acronis for years but recently purchased Acronis True Image 2015 for my daughter to use on her Lenovo Yoga which does not have a CD drive. We did the backup but I am wondering if we ever need to, how do you restore the harddrive on this machine. I have restored computers using Acronis in the past but always did so from a bootable CD. How do you restore on a laptop that has no CD drive?

Hi Alexander. Will that work with version 11 too? I too have a Yoga.
Thanks

Worse comes to worse... you can purchase a USB CD/DVD drive from Amazon for around $20. ATI 2015 definitely has the ability to build a USB rescue drive (should be a 32GB or smaller FAT32 formatted USB flash drive - you only need about 1GB though, but since drives are so cheap and getting larger, a 16GB drive should be easy and cheap to find and build with Acronis rescue media builder directly in the application).
Not sure about ATI 11 - too old for my time. You could check the user guide by Googling it and see what it says.
