The Acronis Secure Zone is a special partition for storing archives on the computer system 

itself. Acronis Secure Zone is necessary for using Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. For 

more information about these functions see 

and

Acronis Secure Zone can be located on any local disk. It is created using unallocated space, 

if available, or at the expense of free space on a partition. A computer can have only one 

secure zone. To create a zone on another disk, you must first delete an existing zone. 

When you click Manage Acronis Secure Zone in the menu, the program searches for the 

zone on all local drives. If a zone is found, the wizard will offer to delete or resize it. If there 

is no zone, you’ll be prompted to create it. 

1. Before creating the Acronis Secure Zone, you can estimate its size. To do this, start 

backup and select all data you are going to backup into the Acronis Secure Zone. At the Set 

Backup Options step choose Set the options manually, then set compression level. You 
will see the estimated full backup size. Multiply this by about 1.5 to be able to create 

incremental or differential archives. 

2. If there are several disks installed, select one on which to create Acronis Secure Zone. 

3. Select the partitions from which space will be used to create the zone. 

 

4. In the next window, enter the size of the zone or drag the slider.
