Because the presence of an operating system cannot be detected in a backup located on a tape,
Acronis Universal Restore (p. 372) is proposed at every disk or volume recovery, even when
recovering a Linux or non-system Windows volume.

Acronis Active Restore (p. 360) is not available when recovering from a tape.
Recovery from a locally attached tape device
Before creating a recovery task, insert or mount the tape containing the backup you need to recover.
When creating a recovery task, select the tape device from the list of available locations and then
select the backup. After recovery is started, you will be prompted for other tapes if the tapes are
needed for recovery.

Proprietary Acronis technologies
This section describes the proprietary technologies inherited by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 from
Acronis True Image Echo and Acronis True Image 9.1 product families.
2.12.1
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.
Certain Windows applications, such as Acronis disk management tools, can access the zone.
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.
Offers a cost-effective and handy method for protecting data from software malfunction, virus
attack, operator error.
Being an internal archive storage, eliminates the need for a separate media or network
connection to back up or recover the data. This is especially useful for mobile users.
Can serve as a primary destination when using dual destination (p. 111) backup.
Limitation
The zone cannot be organized on a dynamic disk or a disk using the GPT partitioning style.
Managing the Acronis Secure Zone
Acronis Secure Zone is considered as a personal vault (p. 373). Once created on a managed machine,
the zone is always present in the list of
Personal vaults
. Centralized backup plans (p. 364) can use
Acronis Secure Zone as well as local plans (p. 369).
If you have used Acronis Secure Zone before, please note a radical change in the zone functionality.
The zone does not perform automatic cleanup, that is, deleting old archives, anymore. Use backup
schemes with automatic cleanup to back up to the zone, or delete outdated backups manually using
the archive management functionality.
