GETTING STARTED. READ BEFORE YOU POST!

A. GETTING STARTED
1. I just purchased Acronis True Image 2011 Home. What steps should I take to use this software?
a. Register your serial number
b. Download the latest version from the registration site.
c. Install the software (an un-install of a prior version may be necessary)
d. Create a new Bootable Media. Add version, build & serial number to CD label.
e. Boot from the bootable media
f. Perform a disk option backup which includes all partitions.
g. Perform some type of test restore from backup file to assure a recovery is possible.
h. Check this article that has general product description, how-tos and known issues.
2. Why do I need to create the bootable media recovery CD? When should it be used?
The standalone version (Acronis Bootable Media) of any Acronis backup product is an exclusive recovery environment for restoring images. Additionally, it allows you to create images, clone hard disk drives, partition new hard disk drives without having to boot into Windows. It has the same graphical interface as when you run your copy of an Acronis backup product under Windows. You can also check additional resources available here and here for more information. There is also a new additional article available at this link.
3. Why is validation important?
The Backup Archive Validation Wizard checks the compliance of the information that was read from the source drive with the information stored to the backup image. Check this comment for more information.
4. Why should I perform a test restore? Isn't validating the backup sufficient to know that the restore will work when needed?
Validation cannot give you a 100% guarantee that the backup is not corrupt. Performing a test restore will allow you to cover that little percentage not covered my validation.
5. What is the difference between exploring a backup file and mounting a backup?
Mounting a backup is done through the Acronis software and exploring can be done through Windows. You can read more about it here. Please take an additional look at this Knowledge Base article.
6. I am having trouble recovering files in my backup. What other methods can I use to recover a few of my files?
Please check this extensive troubleshooting guide.

5. I boot with the bootable media and it does not detect my hard drive or the network card!
