How can I use Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows to write the images directly to DVD
disks?
Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows is capable of writing to a DVD disk in Windows if UDF packet
DVD-writing software is installed, and the DVD disk is formatted. We currently support the following
packet DVD-writing software:
Roxio Drag To Disc — an optional part of Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator
Ahead InCD — is available for free on the Nero site for Ahead Nero users (and usually is shipped
with Nero)
Veritas DLA and all its OEM versions (e.g. HP DLA)
Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD
In general we also support other UDF packet DVD-writing software, but the three above are most popular
and they have been tested and approved by Acronis.
To make the DVD disk writeable in Acronis True Image, the user should do the following:
1. Install UDF packet DVD-writing software.
2. Format the DVD disks. DVD+RW and DVD-RW disks can be formatted by any of the applications
mentioned above, while DVD+R at this moment can be formatted only by Roxio Drag To Disc.
3. Next, start Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows, insert the formatted DVD disk into the
DVD+RW or DVD-RW drive and create an image.
4. The images from the DVD disk can be restored both in Windows and when Acronis True Image 8.0
Server for Windows is started from bootable disks.
There is also a two-step method for writing to DVDs. Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows can
create an image of the hard disk as a single file on the hard disk itself, and then you can copy the file
using your own DVD-writing software to the DVD. We recommend you to set the image archive splitting
size to 2,000 MBytes on the Image Archive Splitting screen, as generally the maximum size of a file
stored on DVD is 2 GBytes. The Acronis rescue disk will also be able to restore this file from the DVD if
necessary.
Can I create an Acronis Secure Zone on an external drive?
It is not recommended that you create Acronis Secure Zone on a detachable drive. If you activate Acronis
Startup Recovery Manager and then for some reason disconnect the drive Acronis Secure Zone reside on,
your computer may boot with a long delay or not boot at all. You will need either connect the drive with
the Acronis Secure Zone back or fix the master boot record (MBR) if the MBR becomes corrupted or the
drive is unavailable.
