    1. Version Match: If you use Acronis 2016 to create the USB, use it to read backups. Newer versions (2018+) sometimes change the .tibx format, causing incompatibility.
    2. Test the USB: Do not wait for a disaster. Boot from the USB today while your PC is healthy. Ensure it sees your C: drive and your backup drive. If it works now, it will work later.
    3. Label Everything: Use a permanent marker: "Acronis 2016 - Bootable."
    4. Keep a spare driver USB: Create a second USB with your motherboard's RAID or NVMe drivers. If Acronis doesn't see your SSD, you can load drivers via the Add Driver button in the media builder.
    5. Update your Backups: A bootable USB is useless if your last full backup is from 2019. Ensure you have a recent .tib file on a separate physical disk.
