6. 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, resizing and deleting the zone. To set a password, click Options on the
Summary window.
Acronis True Image Home 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 to the
zone will be reset.
After you click Proceed, Acronis True Image Home 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 longer. Please wait until the whole
procedure is finished.
14.2 Resizing Acronis Secure Zone
1. If you want to resize the Acronis Secure Zone, select Tools & Utilities Manage Acronis Secure
Zone in the main menu.
2. Select to increase or decrease the zone size. You might need to increase it to provide more space
for archives. The opposite situation may arise if any partition lacks free space.
3. Select partitions from which free space will be used to increase the size of 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 size of Acronis Secure Zone, the program will first use unallocated space. If
there is not enough unallocated space, the selected partitions will be decreased in size. Resizing
of the partitions may require a reboot.
When reducing the size of the zone, any unallocated space, if the hard disk has any, 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).
