7.2.2.3 Deleting Acronis Secure Zone
To delete Acronis Secure Zone:
1. On the Manage Acronis Secure Zone page, click Delete.
2. In the Delete Acronis Secure Zone window, select volumes to which you want to add the space
freed from the zone and then click OK.
If you select several volumes, the space will be distributed to each partition equally. If you do not
select any volumes, the freed space becomes unallocated.

7.3 Removable devices
This section describes peculiarities of backing up to removable devices.
By a removable device, we mean an RDX drive or USB flash drive. A USB hard disk drive is not
considered to be a removable device unless it is recognized as such by the operating system.
In Linux, an RDX drive or USB flash drive is considered to be a removable device if it is specified by its
name (for example, sdf:/). If a device is specified by its mount point (for example, /mnt/backup), it
behaves as a fixed drive.
The method of working with removable disk libraries (multi-cartridge devices) depends on the device
type, brand, and configuration. Therefore, each case should be considered individually.
Vaults on removable devices
Before backing up a machine to a removable device, you can create a personal vault (p. 187). If you
do not want to, the software will automatically create a personal vault in the drive folder selected for
backing up.
Limitations

Centralized vaults cannot be created on removable devices.

Vaults created on removable devices do not have the Data view (p. 135) tab.
Usage modes of removable devices
When creating a backup plan, you can choose whether to use your removable device as a fixed drive
or as removable media. The Fixed drive mode presumes that the removable device will always be
attached to the machine. The Removable media mode is selected by default.
When you back up using the Back up now feature or under bootable media, the removable device is
always used in the Removable media mode.
When you back up using Agent for Exchange or Agent for Hyper-V, the removable device is always
used in the Fixed drive mode.
The difference between the two modes is mostly related to retention and replication of backups.
Functionality Fixed drive Removable media
If there is insufficient space to continue backing up, the
software will prompt you to... ...manually free up disk
space. ...insert new media.
You can set retention rules (p. 98) for backups stored on
the device. Yes No
