5. You can set a password to restrict access to the zone. The program will ask for the 
password at any operation relating to it, such as data backup and recovery, mounting 
images or validating archives on the zone, using the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager 
with the F11 key, resizing and deleting the zone. 
 
Acronis True Image Echo Workstation repair or update will not affect the password. 
However, if the program is removed and then installed again while keeping the Acronis 
Secure Zone on the disk, the password for the zone will be reset. 
6. After this, you will be prompted to activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager, which 
will enable you to start Acronis True Image Echo Workstation at boot time by pressing 
F11 key. Or, you can activate this feature later from the main program window. 
7. Then you will see a list of operations to be performed on partitions (disks). 
After you click Proceed, Acronis True Image Echo Workstation will start creating the 
zone. Progress will be reflected in a special window. If necessary, you can stop zone 
creation by clicking Cancel. However, the procedure will be canceled only after the 
current operation is finished. 
Acronis Secure Zone creation might take several minutes or more. Please wait until the 
whole procedure is finished. 
9.2  Resizing the Acronis Secure Zone 
1. When prompted by the wizard, select Manage Acronis Secure Zone.  
2. Select to increase or decrease the zone. You might need to increase it to provide more 
space for archives. The opposite situation could arise if either partition lacks free space. 
3. Select partitions from which free space will be used to increase Acronis Secure Zone or 
that will receive free space after the zone is reduced.  
4. Enter the new size of the zone or drag the slider to select the size. 
When increasing the Acronis Secure Zone, the program will first use unallocated space. If 
there is not enough unallocated space, the selected partitions will be decreased. Resizing 
of the partitions may require a reboot.  
 
Please keep in mind that reducing a system partition to the minimum size may prevent 
your operating system from booting. 
When reducing the zone, any unallocated space, if the hard disk has it, will be allocated 
to the selected partitions along with the space freed from the zone. Thus, no unallocated 
space will remain on the disk. 
5. Next you will see a list of briefly described operations to be performed on partitions 
(disks). 
After you click Proceed, Acronis True Image Echo Workstation will start resizing the 
zone. Progress will be reflected in a special window. If necessary, you can stop the 
procedure by clicking Cancel. However, the procedure will be canceled only after the 
current operation is finished. 
Zone resizing can take several minutes or longer. Please wait until the whole procedure is 
finished.
