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.

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.
• Since it is internal archive storage, it 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 replication of backups.

Limitations

• The Acronis Secure Zone cannot be organized on a dynamic disk.
