5.1.1 Acronis Media Builder
You can run Acronis Small Office Backup from an emergency boot media on a bare-metal system or a
crashed computer that cannot boot. You can even back up disks on a non-Windows computer,
copying all its data into the backup by imaging the disk in the sector-by-sector mode. To do so, you
will need bootable media that has a copy of the standalone Acronis Small Office Backup version
installed on it.
If you purchased the boxed product, you already have a bootable CD, because the installation CD
itself is bootable.
If you purchased Acronis Small Office Backup on the Web or as a download from a retailer, you can
create bootable media using the Bootable Media Builder. For this, you will need a blank CD-R/RW, a
blank DVD+R/RW or any other media from which your computer can boot, such as a USB flash drive.
