2.14 Proprietary Acronis technologies

This section describes the proprietary technologies inherited by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 from
Acronis True Image Echo and Acronis True Image 9.1 product families.

2.14.1 Acronis Secure Zone

Acronis Secure Zone is a secure partition that enables keeping backup archives on a managed
machine disk space and therefore recovery of a disk to the same disk where the backup resides.
Certain Windows applications, such as Acronis disk management tools, can access the zone.
Should the disk experience a physical failure, the zone and the archives located there will be lost.
That's why Acronis Secure Zone should not be the only location where a backup is stored. In
enterprise environments, Acronis Secure Zone can be thought of as an intermediate location used for
backup when an ordinary location is temporarily unavailable or connected through a slow or busy
channel.
Advantages
Acronis Secure Zone:

Enables recovery of a disk to the same disk where the disk's backup resides.

Offers a cost-effective and handy method for protecting data from software malfunction, virus
attack, operator error.
 Being an internal archive storage, eliminates the need for a separate media or network
connection to back up or recover the data. This is especially useful for mobile users.

Can serve as a primary destination when using dual destination (p. 120) backup.
Limitations

The zone cannot be organized on a dynamic disk or a disk using the GPT partitioning style.
