7.2.2.2 Acronis Snap Deploy 4 PE Builder
Acronis Snap Deploy 4 PE Builder is a dedicated tool for creating a WinPE-based bootable media. The
PE Builder is installed with Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management Console.
The PE builder creates the bootable media by adding components of Acronis Snap Deploy 4 to a
source file called a PE image.
A PE image is normally a .wim file. The PE builder can create a PE image automatically or use a PE
image you provide. The PE image can be based on WinPE 2.x or WinPE 3.0.
The term “image” in “PE image” is unrelated to the notion of “master image.”
