Chapter 7 Try&Decide
The Try&Decide feature allows to create a secure, controlled temporary workspace on your
computer without requiring you to install special virtualization software. You can perform
various system operations without worrying that you might damage your operating system,
programs or data.
After making virtual changes you may apply all of the changes to your original system. You
also can select to discard all changes. Note that you cannot select individual changes to keep
and others to discard. If you make changes that you want to keep, you might want to
commit those changes to the hard disk and then close out of Try&Decide. You can then
relaunch the utility to try other functions. Among the functions you might attempt with this
feature is to open mail attachments from unknown senders, install and run new software, or
visit Web sites that might contain potentially troublesome content.
For example, if you visit a Web site or open an email attachment that puts a virus on your
temporary duplicate, you can simply delete the duplicate and no harm done – the virus will
not appear on your machine.
It is important to remember that if you download email from a POP mail server or if you
create new files while in the TRY mode and then decide to eliminate your changes, those
files and mail will no longer exist. If you use POP email, make sure to change the settings in
your email to leave your mail on the server
before
you activate the TRY mode. This way, you
can always retrieve your email again.
7.1 Using Try&Decide
To start the Try mode, proceed as follows:
1. Select Operations -> Try&Decide in the main program menu or click the Try&Decide
category in the main program window.
2. When there is no Acronis Secure Zone on the hard disk, the program will offer you to
create the Zone and then run the wizard again (see
Chapter 10. Managing Acronis Secure
Zone
). To use this feature, you must accept this recommendation; you cannot use
Try&Decide without the Acronis Secure Zone. Sometimes there may be too little free space
on the Acronis Secure Zone. If such is a case, the program will inform you that it cannot
start the Try mode due to lack of free space. To solve this problem, increase the size of the
Acronis Secure Zone and then run the Try mode again.
In the Try mode the program may use the free space of the
Acronis Secure Zone
quite
intensively, so we recommend creating the Zone with a size of at least 20% of the used
space on your system disk or increase the size of the
Acronis Secure Zone
taking into
account this recommendation.
If you already have an image of your hard disk on the Acronis Secure Zone, that image will
not be affected or damaged if you launch the Try&Decide utility. Your image will be safe
even if you choose not to keep the changes from the Try mode.
We do not recommend creating the Acronis Secure Zone on external media (USB drives,
etc.), as in such a case the Try&Decide function will be unavailable.
