If you purchased Acronis True Image Home 2011 on the Web or as a download from a retailer, you can create bootable media using the Bootable Media Builder. If you purchased the boxed product, you already have a bootable CD, because the installation CD itself is bootable in addition to serving as the program installation disk. To do so, you will need bootable media that has a copy of the standalone Acronis True Image Home 2011 version installed on it. You can even back up disks on a non-Windows computer, copying all its data into the backup by imaging the disk one sector at a time. You can run Acronis True Image Home 2011 from an emergency boot disk on a bare-metal system or a crashed computer that cannot boot.
