Using Acronis Secure Zone

Thread needs solution

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Acronis True Image 2016 and trying to figure out how to use Acronis Secure Zone to store a system backup..

I created the zone without a problem, but I'm trying to figure out how to actually use it to store a backup.

There doesn't seem to be an option to store a backup to this location, so is this done manually?

Any help woule be appreciated.

Regards

Gilles

The way to store a backup in a secure zone is to create  a new backup task pointing to the zone as its destination.

However the implementation of the zone in this version of TI leaves much to be desired. It has so many short comings that I have gone back to Version 2015 where it is fully functional. I raised a support ticket and have been promised that the missing features will be implemented.

However if you just need a safe haven for your system and would be happy to restore it in toto without the ability to explore it then it could work for you.

I keep my backups on a seperate drive because a drive failure can be total and a secure zone on the same drive as the one being backed up does not do enough to ensure to ensure that a recovery will always suceed.

A neat feature of a TI secure zone,which does work in V2016, is that it will keep its backups on a FIFO basis so once scheduled no further user input is required.
