Manage Acronis Secure Zone in the main menu, the program

Creating Acronis Secure Zone
Acronis Secure Zone can be located on any internal disk except dynamic volumes and GPT disks. It is
created using unallocated space, if available, or at the expense of free space on a partition. Partition
resizing may require a reboot.

A computer can have only one Secure Zone. To create a zone on another disk, you must first delete
the existing zone.
the existing zone.
1. Before creating the zone, you need to estimate its size. To do so, start a backup and select all
data you are going to copy into it. At the Backup Options step set the compression level. You will
see the estimated full backup size (for disk/partition backup) or the approximate compression
ratio (for file-level backup) with which you can calculate the estimated full backup size. Multiply
this by 1.5 to be able to create incremental or differential backups. Remember that the average
compression rate is 2:1, so you can use this as a guide as well to create a zone. Let's say you have
a hard disk with 10GB of programs and data. Under normal conditions, that will compress down
to approximately 5GB. As a result, you might want to make the total size 7.5GB.
