Failed to create bootable media by using Apple Softwre Restore.
When creating recuse media through USB flash drive, I got the error message "An error occurred while creating media. Failed to create bootable media by using Apple Softwre Restore."
My Mac mini OS X version is 10.9.5 and Acronis True Image 2015 for Mac is 1.0.6564.
Any suggestion for this issue?

Hi,
I have just had the exact same error trying to make the USB drive on a new iMAC.
I went ahead and reinstalled the OS from the Recovery menu and was then able to create the USB drive.
Maybe some needed files were missing from the original install?
In my case the recovery didn't wipe the drive and then do a clean install but only replaced/repaired existing files. So all existing apps/data was still there after the reinstall.
Im new to Mac's so don't know if this is normal practice for a recovery reinstall or whether luck was on my side.
I didn't have much software installed so in my case I wasn't too bothered if it had wiped my drive.

Hello Don Luu,
thank you for your posting! Did you check that the operating system is supported by this version of Acronis True Image? What version of macOS is installed here?
