What is the difference between an incremental and differential image?
An incremental image contains all changes that have been done since the latest incremental or full image
was created. If one full image and several incremental were created, all of these images must be saved in
the same folder in order to be able to restore the data. If one of incremental images or full image is
deleted, there is no way to restore the set, since all images are dependent on each other.
A differential image contains all changes that have been done after the full image creation. To restore a
differential image, Acronis True Image must match the differential image with the original image.
What is the standalone version of Acronis True Image 9.0?
The standalone version of Acronis True Image 9.0 is an exclusive recovery environment for restoring
images. Additionally, it also allows you to create images, clone hard disk drives, partition new hard disk
drives and manage the Acronis Secure Zone without having to boot into Windows. It has the same
graphical interface as when you run Acronis True Image 9.0 under Windows.
There are two variants of the standalone version. The full variant is based on Linux operating system and
uses Linux drivers for getting access to all hardware devices. The safe variant is based on DOS
environment and doesn't provide you with an access to the USB, PCMCIA, SCSI, RAID devices and the
network. We recommend you to use the safe variant only if the full one doesn't work.
You can run the standalone version of Acronis True Image 9.0 from a bootable media (a CD-R(W) disc, a
set of floppy diskettes, a USB flash card or a ZIP-diskette). Also you can activate Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager and boot your computer into the standalone version (full variant) of Acronis
True Image 9.0 by pressing the F11 button when the computer boots up.
Does Acronis True Image 9.0 support computer hard disks with Linux file systems and Linux
operating system?
Yes, it does. Acronis True Image 9.0 supports the following Linux file systems: Ext2, Ext3, ReiserFS,
Reiser4, and Linux Swap. Acronis True Image 9.0 also works with any other unknown file system in
special sector-by-sector mode. If the software cannot identify the file system, it simply creates an exact
image of every sector on the disk.
The standalone version of Acronis True Image 9.0 can be run from a bootable media on any PC (x86
compatible), independent of the operating system installed.
