Creating a secure zone with Acronis TI 9?

Hi gang,
If I make my backups on a second hard drive,dedicated to backups only, is there any need to create a secure zone on the 2nd drive?
Thanks!

 

Nope.

 

No, the secure zone is required only when you backup to the one drive, hence the need to dlinenate a zone on your hard drive that will be used exclusively for the backup. I'm new at this too ... my two cents worth!

 

I use a secure zone on a second internal drive because it enables me to have a set of automatically produced and managed backup archive images of my main drive.

Once the schedule is set up that is it. All I have to do is look at the log from time to time to make sure that it has in fact run in my absence. I also do regular restores to exchangable main drives but that is another story.

There is some additional protection from corrupting viruses or finger trouble but it's sheer convenience and simplicity appeal to me the most.

Hi!
If I understand well, the purpose of the secure zone is primarly designed to be created on the main hard drive.It does create,so to speak, a sort of partition on that drive.
Am I correct?
Thank you!

 

Exactly. The ASZ is a hidden partition and was designed for those with only 1 HD and nowhere else to store images.

 

Hi!

Thanks to all of you!
