4.7.14 Media components
This option is effective for both Windows and Linux operating systems, when the backup destination
is CD, DVD, or Blue-ray Disc (BD).
When backing up to this media, you can make this media work as regular Linux-based bootable
media (p. 200) by writing additional components to it. As a result, you will not need a separate
rescue disc.
The preset is: No bootable components.
Choose one of the following components you want to put on the bootable media:

Acronis Bootable Agent is a bootable rescue utility (based on Linux kernel) that includes most of
the functionality of the Acronis Backup agent. Put this component on the media if you want more
functionality during recovery. You will be able to configure the recovery operation in the same
way as under regular bootable media; use Active Restore. If the media is being created in
Windows, the disk management functionality will also be available.

Acronis Bootable Agent and One-Click Restore. The One-Click Restore is the minimal addition to
a disk backup stored on removable media, allowing for easy recovery from this backup. If you
boot a machine from the media and click Run Acronis One-click Restore, the disk will be
immediately recovered from the backup contained on the same media.
Caution: Because the one-click approach does not presume user selections, such as selecting volumes to
recover, Acronis One-Click Restore always recovers the entire disk. If your disk contains several volumes and
you are planning to use Acronis One-Click Restore, include all the volumes in the backup. Any volumes
missing from the backup will be lost.
4.7.15 Pre/Post commands
This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and PE-based bootable media.
The option enables you to define the commands to be automatically executed before and after the
backup procedure.
The following scheme illustrates when pre/post commands are executed.
Pre-backup
command
Backup Post-backup
command
Examples of how you can use the pre/post commands:

Delete some temporary files from the disk before starting backup.

Configure a third-party antivirus product to be started each time before the backup starts.

Selectively copy backups from an archive to another location. This option may be useful because
the replication configured in a backup plan copies every backup of an archive to subsequent
locations.
Acronis Backup performs the replication after executing the post-backup command. For more
information see "Sequence of operations in a backup plan" (p. 54).
The program does not support interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user input (for
example, "pause").
To specify pre/post commands
1. Enable pre/post commands execution by checking the following options:

Execute before the backup
