Operation Manual

Note

 If you purchased a boxed product, the installation CD contains an installation file for installing an

True Image 2013 plug-in for the BartPE utility. BartPE (Bart Preinstalled Environment) is a

bootable Windows CD/DVD created from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

installation/setup CD. Applications are installed into BartPE in the form of plug-ins and the True

Image 2013 plug-in can be included into the BartPE plug-in tab. Booting from the BartPE CD/DVD

with the included True Image 2013 plug-in will allow you to work in a well-known Windows

environment and use practically all True Image 2013 functionality for recovering your system

from a disaster. For more information on the BartPE visit the BartPE homepage at

http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/.

 You can also download that installation file from the Acronis Web site.

Recovering from an True Image 2013 error

If True Image 2013 ceased running or produced errors, its files might be corrupted. To repair this

problem, you first have to recover the program. To do this, run True Image 2013 installer again. It will

detect True Image 2013 on your computer and will ask you if you want to repair or remove it.

Upgrading from old versions of Acronis True Image Home

If you already have Acronis True Image Home installed, the new version will simply update it; there is

no need to remove the old version and reinstall the software.

Please keep in mind that the backups created by the later program version may be incompatible with

the previous program versions. Therefore if you roll back True Image 2013 to an older version, you

likely will have to re-create the backups using the older version. We strongly recommend that you

create new bootable media after each product upgrade.

1.1.8 True Image 2013 activation

To use True Image 2013, you need to activate it via the Internet. Without activation the fully

functional product works for 30 days. If you do not activate it during that period, all the program

functions become unavailable except the recovery.
