ATI Home 2012: how to Q's?
Well I've read through the ATI Home 2012 Users Guide and have created an ASZ secure zone on my
C drive and did a disk image to there. Have also did several restores to old backup hard drives for emergencies.
I have ATIH 2012 installed on an XP Pro machine.
All is good, but am uncertain how to accomplish a number of things within the software
and not for lack of trying.
1) create a disk image of the C: drive and store that .asz file to an exterior usb drive within ATIH 2012
2) directly copy an .asz file to an exterior USB drive ... Copy and Paste?
3) relabel/rename an .asz file
I figure I can do this: (dont need to answer yet)
4) take a bootable C: drive from another computer, put it in an enclosure, hook it up as an exterior usb drive , now registering as an F: drive. Create an Acronis Secure Zone on it and create a disk image(of F:) into an .asz file.

Hmmmm, thanks for the caution. ASZ stuff is flaky, who would have guessed.
#4) bootable drive is from another computer. Dont want to buy another version of ATIH for that computer, but want to pull out drive
and plug it in via USB into my ATIH installed computer and ..NOW...either install Acronis Secure Zone and do a disk image/backup to a partition on it and elsewhere.
Thanks

The ASZ is a place to put backups on your internal hard drive which is protected from any Windows software problems (but not hard drive failures of course). IMO it can be useful to do more backups than those you might do connecting & re-connecting an external drive.
So I don't see the point either of putting an ASZ on a computer that doesn't have ATIH resident as well to take advantage of it.

Creating the ASZ doesn't by itself help you to backup another PC. If you connect that drive to the PC with ATI installed, you can backup/image that drive to your regular external USB HD. You can image multiple PCs to a single external USB HD. I don't see any benefit in using the ASZ, at least from what I can understand from your confusing description.
