Thanks Steve for your answer.
I am using the ASZ backup for security reasons... It is more difficult for a virus to erase backup files in the ASZ protected by a password.

Actually no, it's not more secure, not reallyy. ASZ is just as accessible to a virus as any other parition as it is accessible to the OS and is just a hidden parition that uses Fat32 as the parition type. The backup may have a password, but does nothing to prevent malware or ransomware for making changes to ithe maini file (like deleting it or encyrpting it at the file level).

Technical Details[edit]
Although the Acronis Secure Zone has its own partition type, it is actually just a rebadged FAT32 partition labeled ACRONIS SZ, with "partition type" code set to 0xBC. Knowing these requirements, one can manually create and/or manage existing Acronis Secure Zone using any partition manager. Since the ASZ is actually just a modified FAT32 partition type, it is possible to gain direct access to this partition by changing its partition type code to 0x0B (FAT32 LBA).
ATI is designed to self-manage the backup archives stored to the ASZ. As such, all backup files will be stored with autogenerated names in the root folder. If there is not enough freespace for the next backup file, ATI will automatically delete the oldest image set (base+incremental/differential files) in order to create space for the new files.
