Copyright © Acronis, Inc., 2000-2009 208GlossaryAAcronis Active RestoreThe Acronis proprietary technology that brings a system online immediately after the systemrecovery is started. The system boots from the backup (p. 214) and the machine becomes operationaland ready to provide necessary services. The data required to serve incoming requests is recoveredwith the highest priority; everything else is recovered in the background. Limitations:• the backup must be located on the local drive (any device available through the BIOS except fornetwork boot)• does not work with Linux images.Acronis Plug-in for WinPEA modification of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows that can run in thepreinstallation environment. The plug-in can be added to a WinPE (p. 222) image using BootableMedia Builder. The resulting bootable media (p. 211) can be used to boot any PC-compatible machineand perform, with certain limitations, most of the direct management (p. 214) operations withouthelp of an operating system. Operations can be configured and controlled either locally through theGUI or remotely using the console (p. 213).Acronis Secure ZoneA secure volume for storing backup archives (p. 209) within a managed machine (p. 217). Advantages:• 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, virusattack, operator error• 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 the primary location for dual destination backup.Limitation: Acronis Secure Zone cannot be organized on a dynamic disk (p. 215) or a disk using theGPT partitioning style.Acronis Secure Zone is considered as a personal vault (p. 218).Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (ASRM)A modification of the bootable agent (p. 211), residing on the system disk and configured to start atboot time when F11 is pressed. Acronis Startup Recovery Manager eliminates the need for rescuemedia or network connection to start the bootable rescue utility.Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is especially useful for mobile users. If a failure occurs, the userreboots the machine, hits F11 on prompt "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager…" andperforms data recovery in the same way as with ordinary bootable media.Limitation: requires re-activation of loaders other than Windows loaders and GRUB.
