You can create a rescue bootable media - a standalone version of Acronis True Image that you can use to boot a crashed machine or a machine without any operating system and restore an image of your system. Follow these instructions to create a bootable media.

How to create Acronis Bootable Rescue Media on a Windows computer

1. In the Tools section, click Rescue Media Builder:

2. Choose a creation method:

• Simple—This is the easiest option. Acronis True Image will choose the optimal media type for your computer. If you use Windows 7 or a later version, WinRE-based media will be created. For users of Windows XP, Acronis True Image checks if WAIK or WADK is installed on your computer, and if so, then WinPE-based media will be created. Otherwise, Acronis Media Builder will create a Linux-based media.
• Advanced—This option allows you to choose a media type, therefore you can create the rescue media not only for your computer, but for a computer running a different Windows version.

1. Select a destination for the media:

• CD/DVD
• USB flash drive
• ISO image file
• WIM image file (available only for WinPE-based media)

2. Click Proceed:

First, select the bootable media type: WinPE-based media or Linux-based media

If you select the option 'WinPE-based media':

1. Select architecture and toolkit:

• Choose 64-bit (x64), regardless of whether your Windows is 64-bit or 32-bit.

  Note on the option '32-bit (x86)':
  The option '32-bit (x86)' under the 'Architecture' drop-down list is for very rare cases of tablets and other devices, that run 32-bit UEFI firmware - not to be confused with 32-bit Windows!

• Select a toolkit that you want to be used for the rescue media creation. Windows Recovery Environment is recommended, because it usually has all the drivers required for the successful hardware recognition. In case of significant hardware upgrade scenarios, like a migration from old SATA HDD to a faster m.2 NVMe SSD you may need to add drivers for the new hardware on the next step of the Media Builder.
• If the Windows Recovery Environment is missing or Acronis Media Builder is unable to detect it, choose the second or third option. If you plan on using NMVe / M.2 / U.2 / RAID / PCIe, the second option (Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10) is preferred, even if the operating system inside the backup is still Windows 7, because here the operating system refers to the choice of the base of the bootable media, the small 'portable' OS that runs inside the bootable media, completely independent from the operating system inside the backup.
• If you choose Windows AIK or Windows ADK and you do not have the selected kit installed on your computer, then you first need to download it from the Microsoft website, and then install the required components—Deployment Tools and Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE).

2. For better compatibility with your hardware, you can select drivers to be added to the media. Because finding the right drivers can be time consuming, you can skip this step, finish creating a bootable media, try and boot the computer from it and see if the disks / network / NAS are detected successfully in the Recovery's 'Browse' dialog window. If some hardware is not detected, re-create the bootable media, this time not skipping this step and adding the drivers.

The drivers must be extracted in a folder so that individual files .inf, .sys, .cat etc are present. If the drivers are in a single .exe or .msi file, try launching this file, see if it offers an option to extract rather than install drivers.

Download and unzip drivers from the computer manufacturer's website. You need drivers, that are listed under 'Storage', 'Chipset', 'Disks', 'SATA', 'AHCI', 'RAID', 'NVMe', 'PCIe', 'M.2', 'U.2', 'USB', 'Network', 'Ethernet', 'Wi-Fi' sections. If you do not need network support, skip 'Ethernet', 'Network' and 'Wi-Fi'.

Sometimes computer manufacturers do not provide the drivers in extractable format, or the PC's hardware could have been customized afterwards. In such case you need to figure out the model of the controller that is used to access the disk and find the drivers for it in zip/rar/7z format.

One of the most popular drivers that are needed for a successful internal drive recognition, and that are missing in the default clean WinPE media, are Intel RST drivers.

Download and unzip the latest version of Intel RST drivers that support the hardware where the bootable media will be used. If you are unsure about what model of Intel controller is used, launch Windows Start menu, type cmd, right-click the found result and select 'Run as administrator' or 'More'-'Run as administrator', then execute the following command:

wmic path win32_pnpentity where 'caption like '%Chipset%' OR caption like '%AHCI%' OR caption like '%RAID%' OR caption like '%SATA%' get caption

Note that the above command should be run on the computer where the bootable media is intended to be used, not where the media builder is running (if these are different computers).

How to create Acronis Bootable Rescue Media on a Mac

We strongly recommend creating a bootable media immediately after the first backup; if the operating system crashes, the only way to restore it from Acronis True Image 2019 backup is restoring from the bootable media.

If your Mac includes the Apple T2 chip then you need to modify Secure Boot settings in order to boot from Acronis Bootable Rescue Media: see Acronis True Image 2019 on Mac: Changing startup options on Apple T2 chip

To create Acronis bootable rescue media:

1. Connect a removable drive to your Mac.

The drive must have 4 GB (or more) of free space. For example, you can use an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. Note that CD and DVD media are not supported.

2. Open Acronis True Image 2019.

3. In the File menu, click Create Rescue Media. The Acronis Media Builder window opens.

4. Select the drive that you want to make bootable.

5. Click Create Media. If the drive is not empty, Acronis True Image 2019 will ask you to confirm deleting all the data stored on the drive. To confirm, click Erase.

6. When the progress is complete, disconnect the media and keep it in a safe place. You can store your own data on the media, but make sure that you do not delete or modify the Acronis boot files.

We recommend that you create a new rescue media every time you upgrade your Mac OS X to a newer version. Otherwise, your rescue media may not work properly.

More information

If you have Acronis Disk Director 12.5, you can create a multi-product Linux-based bootable media with Acronis True Image 2019 if they are installed on the same Windows machine. Use the media builder provided with Acronis Disk Director to create this media.

Can Acronis handle imaging a MAC?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

No, it isn't supported. Acronis is supposedly working on a Mac version for some time now but nothing has been said about a release date.

The only thing TI might do is image the Mac disk in sector-by-sector mode which means that every sector will be backed up, not just the in-use sectors and will therefore take a long time and use a lot of space. I am not even certain this will work.

So, there is a small chance I can image and OSX harddrive?

From page 12 of the True Image Home 2010 manual:

Acronis True Image Home also enables creation of 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®. The only exception is the Intel-based Apple Macintosh, which is currently not supported in native mode.

Hello,

Seekforever and Gary, you are absolutely correct.

Matt, let me shed some more lights on your concern.

Acronis products do not support Apple Mac OS X.

Standalone versions of Acronis products do not support Apple Mac machines.

Acronis products do not run under any Windows or Linux operating systems when installed on Apple Mac using Bootcamp.

There are at least two reasons for this:

• Apple Mac machines use the EFI bootstrap firmware instead of the BIOS firmware;
• Apple Mac machines use different partitioning principles.

Please reply to this thread if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

If you want to image a Mac, I'd recommend you check out Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.

Both programs work very, very well, have excellent support, and are inexpensive (CCC is free to educational institutions, for example)

Thanks for the help.

Hi, I have the same problem. I have a new iMac, and a new macbook pro, along with my pc's. Will you PLEASE add the ability to make a full disc image of the mac hard drive, and be able to burn it directly to DVDs?
Yes, there are 2 programs for mac that will allow you to clone the drive to another drive (ccc and superduper), but that isn't a good solution. I want to be able to burn a full disc image of the mac drive to DVDs, just like I can on my windows xp PCs, using ATI home 2010. Do you realize there is NO image solution for macs to burn directly to DVDs? You've got us all spoiled with ATI for our PCs, now you have to give us the same ability on our OS X macs! Pretty Please...lol.

Hello,

In spite of what is said above, I found that Acronis True Image Home 2012 works very well on my MacPro (1,1) for backing up and restoring the Bootcamp partition.
It requires a little doing, though, because one needs to transfer the program from the USB Rescue Media that one creates with Acronis onto a Syslinux/isolinux boot cd.
It sounds more complicated than it is:

1) Create the Acronis Rescue Media onto a USB stick

2) Download the iso image of the open source 'Ultimate Boot CD' version 5.1

3) Install an ISO image editor such as 'iso master'

4) Open the UBCD.iso with Iso-Master

5) Locate the directory /ubcd/custom/ on the iso

Hp utility for mac mojave. 6) create a directory called something like 'athi2012' and copy the files 'dat2.dat' and 'dat3.dat' from the Acronis Rescue Media into this new directory. The files should look as in the attached screenshot.

7) replace the file custom.cfg by an edited version where you add the entry (or use the attached copy):

LABEL -
MENU LABEL Acronis Home Image 2012.
KERNEL /ubcd/custom/athi2012/dat3.dat
APPEND initrd=/ubcd/custom/athi2012/dat2.dat /S quiet vga=789

8) save the modified ubcd.iso and burn it onto a cd.

9) to back up or restore the Bootcamp partition, boot the Mac from this cd by holding the option key at restart
- in the text menu that comes up, select 'User defined' and in the next submenu: 'Acronis Home Image 2012'
ATIH cannot write to HFS partitions, so you need to have a second NTFS volume or a large enough USB stick to copy the Bootcamp backup onto.

Maybe Acronis could propose a ready-made ISOLINUX installation for Mac Users ..

(I've used the above a number of times, and it's worked very reliably, but as with any partition manipulations, back up all essential data with Time Machine and don't blame me in case something goes wrong!)

Doesn't the MAC come with a built in backup program? I thought that was standard in the Apple OS and had been for sometime.

Wd Acronis For Mac

Hi Scott,

yes, the Mac comes with 'Time Machine' which is excellent, but it doesn't back up the Bootcamp volume that Macs users can add if they want to be able to boot their machine under Windows (when needing to use software that doesn't run on the Mac).

Well, Apple doesn't want you doing that. Apple knows what you should and shouldn't do -- stick with the proglram.

Acronis For Mac Review

;) just kidding. Couldn't resist. As for the hoops to achieve what you want, some path is better than no path but it reminds me of the old joke about the guy that wanted to buy a suit:

A guy goes into a store to buy a suit and the clerk has him try one on:
Guy, 'Hey one sleeve is longer than the other.'
Clerk says, 'Just shift your shoulders like this and it will look fine, see.'
Guy, 'But the pantlegs are uneven.'
Clerk, 'Well, just shift your weight onto one hip and, yes, see it looks fine.'
Guy, 'But the collar rides low on one side.'
Clerk, 'Here, hold that side in place with your chin against your chest like you're holding a violin. Voila!'

This goes on for bit and the guy, for some reason buys the suit and wears it out of the store and down the street with his chin clamped to his chest, and one leg sort of dragging and his shoulder cocked, etc.

Two doctors walk past him and one says, 'Oh that poor fellow,' and the other says, 'Yes, but he sure had a nice looking suit.'

Good joke!

Practically speaking, the Mac works very well for page layout and graphics plus any day-to-day office. But on the side of accounting software or microprocessor development environments, it's a bit more sparse and even a die-hard Mac addict may have to run Windows, and for easily backing up the Windows partition, it's worth the little one-time gymnastics to install Acronis True Image on a medium the Mac can boot!

Well, one of the morals might be that it's better to walk funny than naked.

good luck,
