Chapter 10. Managing Acronis Secure Zone
The Acronis Secure Zone is a special partition for storing archives on the same computer that
created the archive. The Acronis Secure Zone is a required component for using the Acronis
Startup Recovery Manager and the Try&Decide feature. For more information about these
functions, see
3.3 Acronis Secure Zone,
3.4 Acronis Startup Recovery Manager,
and
3.8
Try&Decide
When you select Tools -> Manage Acronis Secure Zone in the main menu, the program
searches for the zone on all local drives. If a zone is found, the wizard will offer to manage it
(resize or change the password) or remove. 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.
10.1 Creating the Acronis Secure Zone
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.
We do not recommend creating the Acronis Secure Zone on external media (USB drives,
etc.), because this may lead to problems with computer booting if this external storage is
disconnected. Furthermore, in this case the Try&Decide feature may not work properly.
A computer can have only one secure zone. To create a zone on another disk, you must first
delete the existing zone.
1. Before creating a zone, you need to estimate its size. To do so, start a backup and select
all data you are going to copy into it. At the Choose Backup Options step, select 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 1.5 to be able to
create incremental or differential backups. Remember that the
average
compression rate is
2:1, so you can use this as a guide as well to create a zone. Let’s say you have a hard disk
with 10GBs of programs and data. Under normal conditions, that will compress down to
approximately 5GB. As a result, you might want to make the total size 7.5GB.
2. If there are several disks installed, select one on which to create Acronis Secure Zone.
