Alternatively, you can click Always, into the files of fixed size and type the desired file size or
select it from the list. The image will then be split into multiple files of the specified size. This
comes in handy when creating an image that you plan to burn to multiple discs later on.
You can enter the file size in bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), or
terabytes (TB).

Note: Creating images directly on CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or recordable Blu-ray Discs usually
takes more time than it would on a hard disk.

Error handling

Defines how to handle errors that may occur during imaging.
Ignore bad sectors

The preset is: Disabled
When the option is disabled, the software will display a pop-up window each time it comes
across a bad sector and ask for a user decision as to whether to continue or stop imaging.

Enable silent mode (no prompts during imaging)

The preset is: Disabled
With the silent mode enabled, the software will automatically handle situations requiring
user interaction (except handling bad sectors, which is defined by the Ignore bad sectors
option). If an operation cannot continue without user interaction, it will fail. Details of the
operation, including errors, if any, can be found in the operation log.

In case of error, re-attempt in (minutes)

The preset is: 5
When a recoverable error occurs, the software re-attempts to perform the unsuccessful
operation. You can set the time interval between attempts. The attempts will be stopped as
soon as the operation succeeds.
For example, if the location of the image on the network becomes unavailable or not
reachable, the software will attempt to reach the destination every five minutes. The
attempts will be stopped as soon as the connection is resumed.

WinPE-based media

This option is available only for online imaging (p. 73).
Defines whether to place a WinPE-based bootable media created by using Acronis Snap Deploy 5
PE Builder on the master image. If you plan to perform deployment to online machines (p. 115)
with hardware that is not properly recognized by the Acronis bootable media (which is based on
a Linux kernel), these machines can be booted into the media included in the master image. This
speeds up the deployment and reduces the network load because the media is not transmitted
to the machines over the network.

Additional settings

Validate the image when it is created

The preset is: Disabled
If enabled, the program will check the integrity of the just-created image.
You can perform this check after imaging (p. 83).
