Universal recover disk vs. boot disk

Thread needs solution

Is it really necessary to have both a boot disk and a universal recover disk?  I'm assuming the boot disk is for any time you have a crash on your existing hard drive and the universal for setting up a new hard drive or new computer.

Thanks

Hi David,

yes, your assumptions are completely correct. Acronis Universal Restore bootable media is only needed if you are moving your operating system to a different hardware: http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ATI2015/index.html#3…

Thank you,
