8.3.1 Acronis Secure Zone
The Acronis Secure Zone is a special secure partition that you can create on your computer for
storing backups. The Acronis Secure Zone has a FAT32 file system.
Acronis Secure Zone in Windows Explorer
When you create an Acronis Secure Zone, it is displayed in the Other section of Windows Explorer.
You can navigate through the Acronis Secure Zone as an ordinary partition.
Right-click a specific backup or a backup version to view all available operations:

Explore

Mount (for image backups)

Recover

Validate

Update

Remove

View the version's details
If Acronis Secure Zone is password-protected, any operation, except viewing version details, requires
entering the password.
Acronis Secure Zone cleanup
If there is not enough space in the Acronis Secure Zone for a new backup, you can:

Cancel the backup operation, increase the size of the Acronis Secure Zone, and then run the
backup again.

Cancel the backup operation, manually delete some backups in the Acronis Secure Zone, and
then run the backup again.

Confirm that you want to automatically delete the oldest backup of the same type (file-level or
disk-level) with all subsequent incremental and differential versions. After that, if free space is
still insufficient, True Image asks for confirmation and will delete the next full backup. This will
repeat until there is enough free space for the new backup. If after deleting all the previous
backups there is still not enough space, the backup will be canceled.
To prevent the zone overflow, we recommended that you select the When not enough space in ASZ,
delete the oldest backup check box in the scheduled backup options. Refer to Error handling (p. 53)
for details.
True Image does not delete nonstop backup versions in the Acronis Secure Zone automatically. Such
versions can only be deleted manually. For more information see Acronis Nonstop Backup data
storage (p. 30).
