I am thinking of upgrading from ATI 2017 to ATI 2019 and have some questions.

1. I have looked carefully at the manual. If I choose the simple form of the media builder, it looks like based on what it can find on my computer either a LINUX build  or various WIN builds will be created.  I have always used the Linux build in the past with no problems, and understand nothing about WINPE or WINRE or why one would want to use them, or have any idea of how to add drivers or why I would want to . I guess I could create a LINUX version even if another version gets created by simple to be on the safe side.

But,

a. I am concerned about the post above saying the instructions for building media in the manual are incorrect for Win 10 build 1809, and they need to be rewritten. Has that been done by Acronis? If not how would this affect my building recovery media? Again I have no idea what that post is talking about with all the acronyms. But I don't want to upgrade and find myself without a way to recover my computer.

b. Other posts make me believe that Linus may fit on a CD but other WIN builds may require a DVD. if this is true why does not the manual  say so? Also, since I do not know what will be built by the simple process how will I know what type of optical disk to utilize?

c. I do not know why I would choose iso etc in the advanced section, but I guess if I choose simple mode it does not matter.

2. A second question relates to backing up files and folders. I do not fully understand this whole permission issue. But I had the experience once of backing up my files and later trying to recover them to another computer I owned and it did not work likely because of the permissions issue. But it seems like if I want to be able to recover the files to another computer at some point in the future, I should strip the folders and files of permissions, correct?

But if to be on the safe side regarding the potential need to restore to another computer,  I did that routinely with all my file and folder backups, ( ie backup with permissions stripped )and then need to recover them back to the original computer is that going to create problems with them working and showing up on the original computer because their permissions have been stripped? The manual does not explain that.

or

 Should I always back up with permissions intact and then recover to the original computer if need be with permissions intact and recover to a different computer with permissions stripped? This was not possible I guess with my much earlier version of ATI. That is now implied to be possible in the manual. Please confirm this is true,  but if it is, why do the backup and have to think about doing it with or without permissions in the first place when it could be done with permissions intact and then choose later whether to retain them  Seems confusing.

Finally,  why not just directly copy the files and folders to the backup drive using the Windows copy function, and not use the ATI backup function at all? Would that create problems restoring them to the original computer?

Greg, to respond to the recovery media questions you have raised.

See KB 60091: Acronis True Image 2018: how Simple bootable media creation mode works - which has a good description of the processes involved and what happens & why etc.  This document still applies to 2019.

See also KB 61632: Acronis True Image 2019: how to create bootable media - which takes you through the process itself.

For reference, an ISO image (that you can download from your Acronis account, or create via the options described above) is simply an image of the optical media that you can then 'burn' to an optical disc.  In most cases the media should fit on a standard CD disc without the need to use a DVD disc.

The actual process to create recovery media is very easy with a limited number of choices to be made which should be intuitive.

Responding to your question about files & folders backups and permissions etc.

Any permissions related to the files & folders included in your backups only apply to the user accounts found on the system where the backup is created from!

If you are recovering those files & folders to the same computer system, where the owner(s) of the files & folders exist, then there should be no issues with permissions!

If you recover those files & folders to a different computer, or to the same computer but where the original owner(s) no longer exist, then if you recover with their original permissions, you will have an issue with ownership and access - hence the option provided on recovery to restore without those permissions.

See the ATI 2019 User Guide: Recovery Options section.

You can select the following file recovery options:

  • Recover files with their original security settings - if the file security settings were preserved during backup (see File-level security settings for backup), you can choose whether to recover them or let the files inherit the security settings of the folder where they will be recovered to. This option is effective only when recovering files from file/folder backups.

Note the emboldened text in the above paragraph from the user guide, which is what you need to do when recovering files to a different computer or user account!

It is your choice whether you always backup your files with their permissions intact - I always do and just use the above options to restore any without their permissions if needed.

For your final questions about just using copy for your files & folders - again this is your choice but has some potential pitfalls depending on what types of files are involved.

ATI backups of your files uses the Windows VSS snapshot services to capture files that may be in use or locked - doing a simple copy will not do this.  ATI uses compression which copy doesn't.
ATI can make incremental or differential backups of only the changed files etc.

Hi Steve,

 

Thanks very much for clarifying things for me. I especially appreciate understanding what to do about permissions now and realize using ATI to back up files and folders is likely the easiest way. The now added flexibility to strip permissions on restore is great.
