Deleting Acronis Secure Zone

To delete the zone without uninstalling the program, proceed as follows:
1. In the Acronis Secure Zone Actions bar (on the Actions and tools pane), select Delete.
2. In the Delete Acronis Secure Zone window, select volumes to which you want to add the space
freed from the zone and then click OK.
If you select several volumes, the space will be distributed proportionally to each partition. If you
do not select any volume, the freed space becomes unallocated.
After you click OK, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 will start deleting the zone.
When removing Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent from the system, you have two options: to
keep Acronis Secure Zone along with its contents (which will enable data recovery on booting from
bootable media) or remove Acronis Secure Zone.

6.9 Acronis Startup Recovery Manager

Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is a modification of the bootable agent (p. 350), residing on the
system disk in Windows, or on the /boot partition in Linux and configured to start at boot time on
pressing F11. It eliminates the need for a separate media or network connection to start the
bootable rescue utility.
Activate
Enables the boot time prompt "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager..." (if you do not
have the GRUB boot loader) or adds the "Acronis Startup Recovery Manager" item to GRUB's menu
(if you have GRUB). If the system fails to boot, you will be able to start the bootable rescue utility, by
pressing F11 or by selecting it from the menu, respectively.
The system disk (or, the /boot partition in Linux) should have at least 70 MB of free space to activate Acronis
Startup Recovery Manager.
Unless you use the GRUB boot loader and it is installed in the Master Boot Record (MBR), Acronis
Startup Recovery Manager activation overwrites the MBR with its own boot code. Thus, you may
need to reactivate third-party boot loaders, if they are installed.
Under Linux, when using a boot loader other than GRUB (such as LILO), consider installing it to a
Linux root (or boot) partition boot record instead of the MBR before activating ASRM. Otherwise,
reconfigure the boot loader manually after the activation.
Do not activate
Disables boot time prompt "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager..." (or the menu item in
GRUB). If Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is not activated, you will need one of the following to
recover the system when it fails to boot:

boot the machine from a separate bootable rescue media

use network boot from Acronis PXE Server or Microsoft Remote Installation Services (RIS).
See the Bootable media (p. 236) section for details.
