Bootable media
A physical media (CD, DVD, USB flash drive or
other media supported by a machine BIOS as a
boot device) that contains standalone version
of Acronis True Image 2016.
Bootable media is most often used to:
 recover an operating system that cannot
start
 access and back up the data that has
survived in a corrupted system
 deploy an operating system on bare metal
 create basic or dynamic volumes on bare
metal
 back up sector-by-sector a disk that has an
unsupported file system

Data synchronization
Data synchronization is a process of keeping
data identical in two or more synchronized
folders. These folders may be located on the
same computer or on different computers
connected via a local network or via the
Internet. When you create, copy, modify or
delete a file or a subfolder in your sync folder,
the same action is automatically done in the
other sync folders. And vice versa - when
something changes in the other sync folders,
the same change is done in your folder.
Differential backup
1. A backup method used for saving data
changes that occurred since the last full
backup version (p. 160) within a backup.
2. A backup process that creates a
differential backup version (p. 160).
Differential backup version
A differential backup version stores changes
to the data against the latest full backup
version (p. 160). You need access to the
corresponding full backup version to recover
the data from a differential backup version.
Disk backup (Image)
A backup (p. 159) that contains a sector-based
copy of a disk or a partition in packaged form.
Normally, only sectors that contain data are
copied. Acronis True Image 2016 provides an
option to take a raw image, that is, copy all
the disk sectors, which enables imaging of
unsupported file systems.
F
Full backup
1. A backup method that is used to save all
the data selected to back up.
2. A backup process that creates a full
backup version (p. 160).
Full backup version
A self-sufficient backup version (p. 159)
containing all data chosen for backup. You do
not need access to any other backup version
to recover the data from a full backup version.
I
Image
The same as Disk backup (p. 160).
Incremental backup
1. A backup method used for saving data
changes that occurred since the last
backup version (p. 159) (of any type)
within a backup.
2. A backup process that creates an
incremental backup version (p. 160).
Incremental backup version
A backup version (p. 159) that stores changes
to the data against the latest backup version.
You need access to other backup versions
from the same backup (p. 159) to restore data
from an incremental backup version.
