Acronis Secure Zone contents can be viewed directly from Windows Explorer. Open My
Computer (Start -> My computer, or Start -> Run... -> explorer /n, /e, /select, c:\ ) and
double-click on the Acronis Secure Zone icon. In the window that opens, all backup
archives stored in the zone along with their creation dates will be listed. However, viewing
backup archive contents, backup restoration, consolidation, and deleiton can be perfomed
from Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server only. For more information, see
Managing backups in Acronis Secure Zone.

In case you remove Acronis True Image Agent or Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise
Server local version from the system, there is an option to keep Acronis Secure Zone
along with its contents (which will enable data recovery on booting from bootable media)
or remove Acronis Secure Zone.
The Acronis Secure Zone should not be the only location where a backup is stored.
Should the disk have a physical failure, the Acronis Secure Zone could be lost. This is
particularly critical for backups of servers; the Acronis Secure Zone should only be one
part of an overall backup strategy.
3.4 Acronis Startup Recovery Manager
3.4.1 How it works
The Acronis Startup Recovery Manager enables starting Acronis True Image Echo
Enterprise Server on a local computer without loading the operating system. If the
operating system won't load, you can run Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server by
itself to restore damaged partitions. Unlike booting from the Acronis removable media or
RIS server, you will not need a separate media or network connection to start Acronis
True Image Echo Enterprise Server. It is especially handy for mobile users who need to
run a server operating system on their laptop.
3.4.2 How to use
To be able to use Acronis Startup Recovery Manager at boot time, prepare as follows (you
can do it either locally, using Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local version, or
remotely, using Acronis True Image Management Console):
1. Install Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local version or Acronis True Image
Agent on a computer.
2. Activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. To do so, click Activate Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager and follow the Wizard's instructions.
When Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is activated, it overwrites the master boot
record (MBR) with its own boot code. If you have any third-party boot managers
installed, you will have to reactivate them after activating the Startup Recovery Manager.
For Linux loaders (e.g. LiLo and GRUB), you might consider installing them to a Linux
root (or boot) partition boot record instead of MBR before activating Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager.
Here's an example of how you would use this feature. If failure occurs on a computer,
turn on the computer and press F11 when you see the "Press F11 for Acronis Startup
