You can back up data automatically on a schedule (see
not worry about zone overflow issues. However, if you keep long chains of incremental
backups, it is a good practice to check the zone free space periodically. To do so, start the
Manage Acronis Secure Zone wizard and check the zone free space, or manually
remove or consolidate unnecessary backups.
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 Workstation only. For more information, see
backups in Acronis Secure Zone.

In case you remove Acronis True Image Agent or Acronis True Image Echo Workstation
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. 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
Workstation on a local computer without loading the operating system. If the operating
system won't load, you can run Acronis True Image Echo Workstation 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
Workstation.
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 Workstation local version, or
remotely, using Acronis True Image Management Console):
1. Install Acronis True Image Echo Workstation 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
