11.2 Frequently asked questions
How do I use Acronis True Image on a Linux-based PC?
Acronis True Image supports the most popular Linux file systems, including Ext2,
Ext3 and ReiserFS.
Acronis True Image can be run from a special bootable diskette or CD
independently of operating system installed.
Having been run this way, it allows you to perform any disk (partition) image
creation or restoration operations on a Linux-based PC.
What storage devices does Acronis True Image support for keeping
backups?
Partition backups can be created on hard disks, and other storage devices
supported by Windows 95/98/Ме/NT 4/ 2000/XP.
What is the purpose of specifying image file size?
The PC hard disk is the fastest and most effective storage device. It can write a disk
(partition) image considerably faster than any other device, such as a CD-R(W).
Having specified image volume size equal to 600–650Mb, you can quickly create
image files on your hard disk that you can burn to CD-R(W) media afterwards. This
allows you to do the entire task much more quickly.
What devices can a system partition be restored from if Acronis True
Image is loaded from its bootable diskette or CD?
Acronis True Image supports any connected hard disks as well as a wide variety of
IDE, SCSI, FireWire (IEEE-1394), USB (1.0, 1.1, 2.0) and PC card (PCMCIA)
interfaces and devices, including CD-ROM, CD-R(W), magneto-optical drives,
Iomega Zip and Jaz.
