Acronis True Image 2016/2015 Question

I downloaded the trial version of both 2015 & 2016 Acronis True Image.
I don't see any mention of 'recovery disks' in either. Is it that
they are not included in the trial versions, or aren't they used?
I found them invaluable when my drive bombed and I had to buy a new
one. Not sure I would buy either if it does not have this feature.
Maybe I just missed it.

Thanks

You are responding to someone with no previous message.

If you're asking about the recovery disk, the Acronis disk itself can be booted from and used to recover. Also if you
sign into Acronis.com and register your serial# you can download ISO, exe install, etc.

But 14 allows for making recovery CD not sure why 15 or 16 doesn't. It's under tools and utilities tab on 2014.

Believe it or not, I was replying to myself - you see I was having
trouble with my posts - they were not showing up for some reason. All
seems okay now.

Anyway - I'll look again in V2014.

Thank you

me

The full versions allow the creation of the recovery CD, but not the trial
versions (or at least, that's the way it was in the older versions).

Can you use older recovery disk from 2014 and boot then use 2015

2014 Acronis version wont recognize 2015 backup files if previous years
are anything to go by! I wouldnt even dream of using 2015 if they arnt
supplying a boot disk creation tool with it, that looks like a sales
policy change to force people to purchase... still use 2010 version
here! C+


I purchased Acronis 2015 late in 2014. It has the tool to create a
bootable "rescue disc".

The key word being "purchased." The OP is using a trial version, which, if
it holds true to older trial versions, doesn't allow the creation of a
Rescue CD.

I was just curious - I asked about it because I considered it to be
important. I would not buy Acronis without it.

Thanks
