Acronis Startup Recovery Manager - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition User Manual

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. 114) backup.
Limitation
The zone cannot be organized on a dynamic disk or a disk using the GPT partitioning style.
Managing the Acronis Secure Zone
Acronis Secure Zone is considered as a personal vault (p. 381). Once created on a managed machine,
the zone is always present in the list of Personal vaults. Centralized backup plans (p. 372) can use
Acronis Secure Zone as well as local plans (p. 377).
If you have used Acronis Secure Zone before, please note a radical change in the zone functionality.
The zone does not perform automatic cleanup, that is, deleting old archives, anymore. Use backup
schemes with automatic cleanup to back up to the zone, or delete outdated backups manually using
the archive management functionality.
With the new Acronis Secure Zone behavior, you obtain the ability to:

list archives located in the zone and backups contained in each archive

examine a backup's content

mount a disk backup to copy files from the backup to a physical disk

safely delete archives and backups from the archives.
For more information about operations available in Acronis Secure Zone, see the Personal vaults (p.
159) section.
Upgrade from Acronis True Image Echo
When upgrading from Acronis True Image Echo to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, Acronis Secure
Zone will keep the archives created with Echo. The zone will appear in the list of personal vaults and
the old archives will be available for recovery.

2.13.2 Acronis Startup Recovery Manager

A modification of the bootable agent (p. 371) can be placed on a system disk and configured to start
at boot time when F11 is pressed. This eliminates the need for rescue media or network connection
to start the bootable rescue utility. This feature has the trade name "Acronis Startup Recovery
Manager".
