Acronis Secure Zone: can I delete the stored backups ?

Thread needs solution

Hi, I use Version 11.0. I read the user guide, but I would want to be sure about two questions:

1 Is there a way to delete the stored backups manually ( i.e.. booting True Image from a CD-ROM )

2 when the Acronis Secure Zone is fully, if I create a new full back up, TIA should delete the olders to gain free space: can I be sure that the new backups will not overwrite some old backup ?

Thanks.

 Hello Alberto,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help. 
If I correctly understood you, you are using Acronis True Image 11 Home. 
You are unable to manage the Acronis Secure Zone content manually with this version.
Acronis True Image 11 Home uses the following scheme to clean up Acronis Secure Zone:
- If there is not enough free space in the zone to create a full backup, the program deletes the oldest full backup with all subsequent incremental/differential backups.
- If there is only one full backup (with subsequent incremental/differential backups) left and a full backup is in progress, then the old full backup and incremental/differential backups are deleted.
- If you are in the process of creating an incremental/differential backup and there is not enough free space, you will get an error message. In that case, you will have to increase the size of the Acronis Secure Zone and then run the backup operation again.
In Acronis True Image Home 2010 Acronis Secure Zone can be browsed through Windows Explorer. 

The following operations can be done with the backup archives in Acronis Secure Zone when browsing it through Windows Explorer:

- Mount;

- Restore;

- Validate;

- Update;

- Remove.

Hello Oleg, thanks for your kind answer.

Well, I see that I must upgrade at True Image Home 2010 :-). But I have a problem :-): I'm not English, but I use TIA 11 in English. Last week I received an email from Acronis .it with a special offer to upgrade my version, but in italian ! I have the version 11 in English and I wish to upgrade it in English again.

I'm registered in Acronis.com, but if I upgrade form there I have not the special discount offer.

Any suggest for me ? :-) Thanks.

Hello Oleg, thanks :-), but I can't send to you a PM, it does to me this: " Access Denied
You are not authorized to access this page. "

Anyway, I also forgot to ask: must I to uninstall TIA 11 before installing the newer version, or I can upgrade it directly ?

Thanks for yor help.

 Hello Alberto,

Thank you for taking time to contact us.

I have enabled Private messaging for your account. Please try to send the copy again.

Since your current version is a little bit outdated one, it will be preferable to remove the previous installation prior installing the latest version.
