Acronis Rescue ISO as Boot Image

[pr_wainwright]

Hi,

I use Acronis True Image to backup my PC regularly. Acronis allows creation of rescue media & even rescue ISO files. I was hoping using ImgBurn to create a DVD with a backup *.tib file on it & use the Acronis rescue ISO image to make the DVD bootable with the Rescue version of Acronis on it. I created the DVD adding the *.tib file & choosing the rescue ISO in the boot section of ImgBurn. Everything seemed fine & ImgBurn created the ISO with the *.tib file and the Acronis rescue files on it but the disk won't boot?.

 

Any help on the 'Boot disk' options of ImgBurn appreciated.

 

Thanks

The bootable ISO it makes is a disc image in it's own right, I doubt you can use it as a boot image for another disc image.

 

You'd need to burn that ISO to one disc and then keep the *.tib on a different one.

Lightning UK,

Do I need something like PowerISO to achieve this?. I could add the *.tib file to the original Acronis rescue image & maybe this would work. Will ImgBurn be able to edit ISO images in future releases?.

 

Thanks

You could indeed edit the ISO, or if you mount the ISO in something like DAEMON Tools, you could build a new one based on it just using explorer + imgburn.

 

ImgBurn can extract the boot image from the virtual drive (and then reuse it), and the content can just be added via explorer in the normal way, along with your tib file.

 

I doubt ImgBurn will ever 'edit' images, it's just a lazy man's way of bodging something!
