There are about 4 different computers in the family that I'm trying to
assimilate into an Acronis backup strategy/solution. Two are Win 98SE, one
has
Me & XP it (dual boot, dual physical hard drives), and one has XP Pro on
it with
a 10 GB HDD in it. Two of the machines have very small physical hard
drives (3GB
on one and 10 GB on another) and they probably need new drives of a larger
order
of 60-120 GB as replacement drives, but not as second drives. The 98SE
machine
I'm working on now has two 60 GB hard drives on it, and the backup
partitions
already fill up with DI 2002, such that I have to use part of a third used
partition to store even more backup info.

If I can store the backup images anywhere, what is the Secure Zone about?

Other programs cannot see the Secure Zone. Only Acronis and its boot discs
know its there. Thus it is unlikely for accidental erasing using the OS.
Also it is managed completely automatically by the program---no info. on
parameters, locations, sizes is required.

Off topic:

Acronis has a nifty and robust ability to mount an image...it becomes a
drive in the computer. This works wonderfully for reading individual files
etc from an image.


I assume one Acronis purchase can be used on several computers? No
activation or
genuine checks, eh?

I do not know...I have only one machine.


I've never used Acronis before, so I'm a bit blind about the possibilities
yet.
