2.8.2 Subscription to Acronis Cloud
Performing backups to Acronis Cloud requires subscription to the Acronis Cloud service. When you
start using Acronis True Image 2015, an unlimited storage space and 30-day free subscription will be
assigned to your account automatically.
After the trial subscription expires, Acronis Cloud works in recovery-only mode for 30 days. After this
period, you won't be able to use the Acronis Cloud service and all your data on the Cloud will be
deleted.
You can purchase the full Acronis Cloud subscription and manage it at the Acronis website:
https://www.acronis.com/my/online-backup/.
3 Creating bootable rescue media
Bootable rescue media is a removable drive containing boot files. When your Mac does not start, you
use the drive to boot the Acronis recovery environment and recover your Mac from a previously
created backup.
If you do not have a backup yet, please create it. Refer to Backing up to local or network storage (p.
8) and Backing up to Acronis Cloud (p. 9) for details.
Using bootable media is the only way to recover your Mac from an Acronis True Image 2015 backup.
To create Acronis bootable rescue media:
1. Connect a removable drive to your Mac.
The drive must have 4 GB (or more) of free space. For example, you can use an external hard
drive or a USB flash drive. Note that CD and DVD media are not supported.
2. Open Acronis True Image 2015.
3. In the File menu, click Create Rescue Media. The Acronis Media Builder window opens.
