To use Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (it must be activated), turn on your PC 
and press F11, when you see the "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager" 
message. This will run a standalone version of Acronis True Image Server that only 
slightly differs from the Windows version. For information on restoring damaged 
partitions see Chapter 5. 
 
Be careful! Disk letters in standalone Acronis True Image Server might sometimes differ from 
Windows notation. 
To activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager, click Activate Acronis Startup 
Recovery Manager
This boot manager requires Acronis Secure Zone to work. If it's absent, secure zone 
creation wizard will be run (see above). The restoration manager will be installed 
during this procedure as well. 
If there is Acronis Secure Zone on your PC, the boot manager will be activated 
immediately. 
3.4. Incremental images 
An incremental image contains only data from those hard disk parts that changed 
after the previous disk image (full or incremental) was created. Thus such images 
are significantly smaller and are faster to create. However, as it doesn't contain all 
the necessary information about disks (partitions), it requires more than one image 
for restoration, including the current incremental image and at least one previous 
image or (ideally) all the previous incremental images and the initial full image. You 
can't foresee the exact amount of images required for particular restoration, as it 
depends on how data changed between image creations. 
Note that you can create incremental images more often, as they are far smaller 
than full images and are significantly faster to create. If you create such images 
often, you'll be able to restore disks (partitions) relatively easily and fast. In case of 
full images this will require far more time and space (up to ten times more). 
 
An incremental image created after a disk is defragmented might be considerably larger than 
usually. This is happened because the defragmentation program changes files locations on disk 
making incremental image reflect these changes. 
A number of incremental images enables to restore a disk into any of states 
incremental images are available for. E.g. one full image in the beginning of the 
month along with daily incremental images will provide you with the same result as 
daily full images. At that time and space expenses will be up to 10 times smaller 
than in case of full images.
