Acronis Startup Recovery Manager
Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is a modification of the bootable agent, residing on the system
disk in Windows and configured to start at boot time on pressing F11. It eliminates the need for a
separate media or network connection to start the bootable rescue utility.
Activate
Enables the boot time prompt "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager…" (if you do not
have the GRUB boot loader) or adds the "Acronis Startup Recovery Manager" item to GRUB's menu
(if you have GRUB). If the system fails to boot, you will be able to start the bootable rescue utility, by
pressing F11 or by selecting it from the menu, respectively.
The system disk should have at least 70 MB of free space to activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.
Unless you use the GRUB boot loader and it is installed in the Master Boot Record (MBR), Acronis
Startup Recovery Manager activation overwrites the MBR with its own boot code. Thus, you may
need to reactivate third-party boot loaders, if they are installed.
Do not activate
Disables boot time prompt "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager…" (or the menu item in
GRUB). If Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is not activated, you will need the following to recover
the system when it fails to boot:
boot the machine from a separate bootable rescue media.
See the Bootable media section for details.

as a boot device) that boots on any PC-compatible machine and enables you to run Acronis Backup &

operating system. Bootable media is most often used to:

create basic or dynamic volumes on bare metal
