"Viewing logs").
Taskbar notification area icon
During image creation operations a special indicator icon appears in the notification
area (right part of the taskbar with the clocks). If you hover the cursor over it, you
will see a tooltip indicating operation progress. This icon doesn’t depend on if the
main program window is opened. It’s present for background execution of
scheduled tasks as well.
Disk and partition information
You can change disk schemes and data representation in all schemes you see in
various wizards.
To the right over the scheme are three icons:

button. Then flag the columns you want to display.
If you click the
Display the properties of the selected item
button, you will see
the selected partition or disk properties window.
This window contains two panels. The left one contains the properties tree, and the
right describes the selected property in detail. The disk information includes its
physical parameters (connection type, device type, size, etc.); partition information
includes both physical (sectors, location, etc.), and logical (file system, free space,
assigned letter, etc.) parameters.
You can change columns width by dragging their borders with mouse.

Acronis Secure Zone
Acronis Secure Zone is a special hidden partition for storing disk and partition
images. Usual applications can’t access it for image security purposes.
If you create an Acronis Secure Zone, it will be listed along with all partitions
available for image creation and restoration.
The Acronis Secure Zone is primarily meant to be used with Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager (see below). It is always available for image creation as long as
there is space for it. If there’s not enough space, older images will be deleted to
create space.
