Don't know if you looked at the FAQ posted on the Acronis web site
with regard to True Image 7.0.

According to their FAQ, DVD disks must be formatted (UDF) prior to use
by using a program such as Nero InCD, Roxio DirectCD, or Veritas DLA.

Again from their FAQ, it seems to indicate that you can write the
images to your hard drive and then burn them direct to DVD. You would
of course have to use your DVD burning program to make the disk
bootable. However, it would seem to me that the True Image program
would also have to be on the DVD so that the process is automatically
run upon bootup.

I am also interested in the Acronis True Image 7.0 product. Have you had
any luck in getting answers from their sales and/or tech people?

My email to Acronis support below represents the extent of my contact
with Acronis. (Note that my original email has embedded web links
that the text below does not show.) I just sent this note a few
seconds ago, and have only received an automated response back. If I
remember to do it (no guarantees), I'll post back here if I get a
human followup.

Subject: Create bootable DVD with system reload image?

Can I create bootable DVD image write disks that can "refresh"/reload
a system using TrueImage (any version)?

I want to copy TrueImage image files to a DVD that I can make bootable
such that I insert the DVD into a system, reboot, and the system
automatically and with no human input required (except for maybe a
"verify system reload" confirmation button) reset the designated
partition back to the state of the image.

Norton seems to have some docs (see the link here) on how to make this
(at least for a CD) using Ghost 2003. Can similar process happen with
TrueImage?

TrueImage claims DVD writing...but can it handle my above scenario
requirements?

I have also started this usenet thread asking about this, so far, the
one response I have thinks that there is no means to do this.
