To specify a new cache folder in Linux:
Add the following element inside the Configuration tag in /etc/Acronis/MMS.config:
<key name="Catalog">
<value name="CatalogDir" type="TString">"/home/Catalog/"</value>
</key>
So, the configuration file will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<registry name="MMS">
<key name="Configuration">
...
<key name="Catalog">
<value name="CatalogDir" type="TString">"/home/Catalog/"</value>
</key>
</key>
</registry>
Where /home/Catalog/ is a new folder path. The path must end with a slash mark (/) and can
be 32765 characters long.
Moving the catalog files
After changing a cache folder, Acronis Backup neither moves the catalog files to the new folder nor
removes the old folder.
If your backups are stored on a tape device, move the catalog files to the new location so as not to
catalog the data over again. Otherwise, you may let Acronis Backup create or copy the catalog files
anew.
You may also want to delete the old folder. The default cache folder path is as follows:

In Windows XP and Server 2003: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application
Data\Acronis\AMS\AMS\Catalog (on a management server)
or %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\Catalog (on a
managed machine).

In Windows Vista and later versions of
Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%\Acronis\AMS\AMS\Catalog (on a management server)
or %PROGRAMDATA%\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\Catalog (on a managed machine).

In Linux: /var/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/MMS/Catalog/
7.2 Acronis Secure Zone
Acronis Secure Zone is a secure partition that enables keeping backup archives on a managed
machine disk space and therefore recovery of a disk to the same disk where the backup resides.
Should the disk experience a physical failure, the zone and the archives located there will be lost.
That's why Acronis Secure Zone should not be the only location where a backup is stored. In
enterprise environments, Acronis Secure Zone can be thought of as an intermediate location used for
backup when an ordinary location is temporarily unavailable or connected through a slow or busy
channel.
Advantages
Acronis Secure Zone:

Enables recovery of a disk to the same disk where the disk's backup resides.
