General program information
If you create an Acronis Secure Zone, it will be listed along with all partitions
available for image creation and restoration.
The Acronis Secure Zone is primarily meant to be used with Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager (see below). It is always available for image creation as long as
it has space for it. If there's not enough space, older images will be deleted to
provide enough space.
This means you can automatically create disk images easily on a schedule (see
Chapter 9), and you won't be bothered by zone overflow issues.
The Acronis Secure Zone can still be filled completely when creating incremental images. This
happens because the program can't delete the first (full) image, since it might be required for
restoration. Thus, you should periodically check zone free space, when creating incremental
images, to increase it, if necessary, or re-create the basic full image.
Acronis Secure Zone can be located on any local disk. It's created at the expense of
the unallocated space, if it's available, or at the expense of partitions free space. A
server can have only one Acronis Secure Zone. To create it on another disk, you
must first delete the existing zone.
When you click Manage Acronis Secure Zone in the menu, the program searches
for such zone on all local drives. If a zone is found, the wizard will offer you to
delete or resize it. If such zone is absent, you'll be prompted to create it.
Before you create the Acronis Secure Zone, estimate its size. To do this, start image
creation and select disks and partitions to image into the Zone. At the compression
level stage you will see estimated image size. Multiply this by about 1.5 to
compensate possible inaccuracy of estimation. If you plan to install additional
applications or create incremental images, increase the zone size.
