Poll: Acronis Secure Zone wierd behaviour --> should be changed

[jeremyotten]

Ok this is how the secure zone manages it images.

When for example there would be a FULL image with 3 incrementals and you would create another incremental and the disk would be full you would get a disk is full error.

Now when you instead of that incremental would create a full you would get an error because acronis just deletes the last FULL + incrementals to make space. So instead of being able to go back a few backups I LOST all of them and can inly get back 1 backup!!

this is weird system!
It should let you create incrementals all the time and prune the oldest incrementals for example in the FULL backup to create more space!

Who is with me!

“It should let you create incrementals all the time and prune the oldest incrementals for example in the FULL backup to create more space!”

I’m not sure if I understand you correctly, but if I do then what you suggest would not be possible.
You need the FULL and ALL the INCs to restore to the latest point in time. “Pruning” the oldest INC could cause untold problems.

If anybody were to ask how big a secure zone should be I would say it should be enough to take at least three uncompressed images.
With normal compression this would allow for some increments before the next full was performed.

My secure zone can actually take eight uncompressed images which is more than enough for my requirements.

I hope that Acronis do not ever make any changes to the way the secure zone operates. It is one feature that has continued to work over the years without fail.
Yes it has its quirks but it is possible to get used to them or workaround them.
