Acronis True Image Server User’s Guide
General program information
In the next window you will see an Acronis Secure Zone deletion script containing a list
of briefly described operations to be performed on partitions (disks).
After you click Proceed Acronis True Image Server will start deleting the Acronis
Secure Zone. Progress will be reflected in the opened window. If needed, you can
stop zone creation by clicking Cancel. However, the script will be cancelled only
after the current operation is finished.
Acronis Secure Zone deletion might take several minutes or more. Please, wait until
the whole procedure is finished.
Acronis Secure Zone deletion will automatically disable Acronis Startup Recovery Manager if it's
activated and destroy all images stored in the zone.
Acronis Secure Zone can be located on basic disks only. (A basic disk is a physical disk without
any dynamic disks.) If a PC has only dynamic disks, you won’t be able to create the Acronis
Secure Zone.
To run Acronis True Image Server in standalone mode and quickly restore system partitions
from images, we recommend that you install the system to a basic disk, creating the Acronis
Secure Zone on the same or another disk that does not contain dynamic disks.
Upgrading a disk with an Acronis Secure Zone from basic to dynamic will prevent access to the
Acronis Secure Zone and disable the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. Therefore, we suggest
that you delete the Acronis Secure Zone before performing such an operation.
3.3. Acronis Startup Recovery Manager
Acronis True Image Server provides Acronis Startup Recovery Manager that enables
to run the program without loading the operating system. This feature is useful if
Windows doesn't load for some reasons. Using this manager, you can run Acronis
True Image Server standalone to restore damaged partitions from images.
