Secure Zone

For Backup clients installed prior to Backup 4.0 the Secure Zone page installs a 56 MByte hidden boot partition on managed machines. For these earlier backup clients, secure zones are used by Auto Recovery to boot the managed machine and restore backup volume images without any user interaction. Installing or removing a secure zone requires a reboot of the machine.

Automatic Recovery without Secure Zone: The Backup 4.0 client (Acronis ABR10) does not require Secure Zone to perform an Auto Recovery. All machines installed with the ABR10 version of the Backup client display on the Automatic Recovery page. The Secure Zone page no longer allows installation of a Secure Zone on machines using the ABR10 version of the Backup client. Secure Zones are still required for machines using versions of the Backup client earlier than ABR10.
