Acronis Universal Boot Media Builder 11.5

Acronis Universal Boot Media Builder by Acronis is a utility for creating customizable, bootable recovery media that works across a wide range of hardware. It packages the Acronis recovery environment—based on WinPE/WinRE or Linux—together with the storage and network drivers you specify, so you can boot machines, access disks and shares, and perform recoveries even when the operating system won’t start or the target hardware differs from the original.

Key capabilities:

• Create USB, ISO, or CD/DVD boot media for Acronis backup and recovery products (such as Acronis Cyber Protect and Acronis True Image for business).
• Inject critical storage, RAID, NVMe, and network drivers to ensure broad hardware compatibility.
• Support for UEFI and legacy BIOS systems on modern 64-bit platforms.
• Enable bare-metal recovery and system migration to dissimilar hardware, including P2V and V2P scenarios.
• Optionally include Acronis Universal Restore to add required drivers to the restored OS.
• Connect to local disks, SMB/NAS shares, iSCSI targets, and Acronis-managed repositories.
• Wizard-driven workflow; can use the Windows ADK/AIK when building WinPE/WinRE-based media.

Typical use cases:

• Rapid disaster recovery when the system is unbootable.
• Hardware refresh and image deployment to new or different devices.
• Offline troubleshooting and restoration in secure or isolated environments.

Designed for IT administrators and recovery technicians, Acronis Universal Boot Media Builder streamlines the creation of reliable, hardware-agnostic boot media that keeps recovery operations fast and consistent.
