Please, be aware that built-in support of zip files in Windows does not cover operations with multivolume zip
archives, and zip archives exceeding 4GB in size or which contain files of more than 4GB each.
The Zip format is available when backing up files and/or folders as well as when making reserve
copies of your backups. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition provides for the zip format
most of the functionality available for the tib format, except password protection and encryption –
you can schedule backups, validate zip backup archives, recover files and folders from zip archives,
make incremental and differential backups, and so on.
Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition can recover and validate only its own zip archives. If a zip
archive was created by a file archiver program, it cannot be recovered and validated by Acronis True Image
Home 2010 Netbook Edition.
3.8. Booting from system image tib files
Users of the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 can now test whether they will be able to
boot from the recovered system partition. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition allows
booting from a tib file containing a system partition image. So if you are able to boot from such
backup, you almost certainly will be able to boot after an actual system recovery from that backup.
When you choose a tib file to boot from, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition creates a
temporary vhd file by converting this tib file, so your hard disk must have enough free space for
storing it. Then the program adds a new item to the Windows boot loader list. When you select the
tib file in the boot loader list, your computer will actually boot from that temporary vhd file. After
testing the bootability of the tib file, you can remove the file from the boot loader list and delete the
temporary vhd file, though you can keep it.
