Chapter 9. Managing the Acronis Secure

Zone

The Acronis Secure Zone is a special partition for storing archives on the computer system

itself. For more information see

3.3 Acronis Secure Zone

When you click Manage Acronis Secure Zone in the menu, the program searches for

the zone on all local drives. If a zone is found, the wizard will offer to manage it

(consolidate or remove backups, resize or change the password) or delete. If there is no

zone, you’ll be prompted to create it.

If the Acronis Secure Zone is password-protected, the proper password must be entered

before any operation can take place.

9.1 Creating Acronis Secure Zone

The Acronis Secure Zone can be located on any internal disk. It is created using

unallocated space, if available, or at the expense of free space on a partition. Partition

resizing may require a reboot.

A computer can have only one Acronis Secure Zone. To create a zone on another disk,

you must first delete an existing zone.

1. Before creating a zone, you may want to estimate its size. To do so, start a backup and

select all data you are going to copy into it. At the Set Backup Options step, choose

Set the options manually, then set the compression level. You will see the estimated

full backup size (for disk/partition backup) or the approximate compression ratio (for file-

level backup) with which you can calculate the estimated full backup size. Multiply this by

about 1.5 to be able to create incremental or differential backups.

2. If there are several disks installed, select one on which to create Acronis Secure Zone.

3. Select the partitions from which space will be used to create the zone.
