Acronis Secure Zone Installs along with the Acronis True Image Agent in case you want to have the Acronis Secure Zone on the computer. Acronis True Image SDK Documentation A reference for you, containing step by step instructions and examples of how you can create scripts for the most typical cases. Sample scripts written in VBScript and JavaScript.
