ASZ - Problems

Thread needs solution

ASZ seems to get more difficult to work with, with each iteration. Is there really any value of ASZ over a simple exclusive Windows explorer partition?

I advise against creating the Secure Zone. It's really meant as a sub-optimal method of backup for people who have no external target to which to backup. If your drive fails, you would lose your system, files, and your Secure Zone backups.

It's much better and safer to make backup images to an external hard drive.

Also, in the past there were occasonal reports of the Secure Zone causing problems to the system. When I installed Secure Zone on one PC, it corrupted the hard drive causing data loss and rendering the system unbootable. Perhaps the latest versions of Secure Zone are improved, but that experience coupled with its inherent insecurity and lack of reduncancy cause me to be wary of Secure Zone.

As for difference between the Secure Zone and a normal Windows partition, yes, there are differences. For example, the Secure Zone is designed not to be accessible by normal Windows apps. That helps protect it from any viruses or other malware that might infect the drive.
