Using True Image to backup hard drive

Thread needs solution

I have a PC with removable hard drives so I can run different versions of Windows (XP and Win7) as I chose. True Image works great on these either from Windows or from Recovery Disk. I also have one of these drives with Linux on it. My question is... can I use the "boot from recovery disk" method to back up my disk with Linux on it? I have a separate hard drive for my data that I use whether I am running Windows OS or Linux OS. Thanks in advance for your replies...

Keith,

The following quote is from Para 1.3.2 of the ATI 2015 User Guide:

"Acronis True Image 2015 also lets you create a bootable CD-R/DVD-R that can back up and recover a disk/partition on a computer running any Intel- or AMD- based PC operating system, including Linux®. (Note that the Intel-based Apple Macintosh is not supported.)"

So the short answer is Yes.

You should give it a try and please report the results back here.
