Acronis Secure Zone - How to Update an Old ASZ
I'm running Win7 Pro and Acronis True Image 2016. Before upgrading to Win10, I want to use ASZ as a disk image of the OS for fallback. (My data is on a separate drive I backup routinely. I don't backup C:)
In 2011, I saved C:\ to the ASZ I created on the same drive as C:. Last week, I tested that 2011 backup by running Recovery using F11 at bootup. Worked great. (Beats a fresh install!) I updated old applications and updated settings. Now my C:\ content is larger than in 2011. I've used the Acronis Tools to increase the size of ASZ from 50GB to 75GB. From what I can tell, I believe the 2011 backup is still there. Two questions:
1. If I do a "partion" backup of C:\ to ASZ, will it replace the old 2011 or must I delete ASZ first and then create a new ASZ and then backup?
2. It's been 5 years since I did this with an earlier version of Acronis. So, what "backup scheme" is recommended for the ASZ backup e.g., single version; incremental; full; etc. ?
Thanks!
