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, rescue boot with the F11 key, resizing and
deleting the zone.
Acronis True Image Server 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.
6. After this, you will be prompted to activate Acronis Recovery Manager, which will enable
you to start Acronis True Image Server 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 Server 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.
8.2 Resizing 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 might 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 Server 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.
8.3 Changing the password for Acronis Secure Zone
To change or remove the password for Acronis Secure Zone you will have to delete the zone
and create it again with the new password or without a password.
