7.2.1 Creating Acronis Secure Zone
You can create Acronis Secure Zone while the operating system is running or using bootable media.
To create Acronis Secure Zone, perform the following steps.
Location and size
Disk (p. 190)
Choose a hard disk (if several) on which to create the zone. Acronis Secure Zone is created
using unallocated space, if available, or at the expense of the volume's free space.
Size (p. 191)
Specify the exact size of the zone. Moving or resizing of locked volumes, such as the volume
containing the currently active operating system, requires a reboot.
Security
Password (p. 191)
[Optional] Protect the Acronis Secure Zone from unauthorized access with a password. The
prompt for the password appear at any operation relating to the zone.
After you configure the required settings, click OK. In the Result confirmation (p. 191) window,
review the expected layout and click OK to start creating the zone.
7.2.1.1 Acronis Secure Zone Disk
The Acronis Secure Zone can be located on any fixed hard drive. Acronis Secure Zone is always
created at the end of the hard disk. A machine can have only one Acronis Secure Zone. Acronis
Secure Zone is created using unallocated space, if available, or at the expense of the volumes' free
space.
The Acronis Secure Zone cannot be organized on a dynamic disk.
To allocate space for Acronis Secure Zone

from all volumes of the first enumerated disk are selected by default. The program displays the
total space available for the Acronis Secure Zone.

can be taken. Again, the program displays the total space available for the Acronis Secure Zone
depending on your selection. You will be able to set the exact zone size in the Acronis Secure
Zone Size (p. 191) window.
