9.6 Security and Privacy Tools

Acronis True Image Home 2011 contains utilities for secure destruction of data on an entire hard disk

drive, and individual partitions. It can also erase individual files and eliminate traces of user system

activity.

When replacing your old hard drive with a new, higher-capacity one, you may accidentally leave

personal and confidential information on the old disk. This information could be retrieved even if you

have reformatted the disk.

The Acronis DriveCleanser provides for the destruction of confidential information on hard disk

drives and/or partitions with the help of techniques that meet or exceed most national and state

standards. You can select an appropriate data destruction method depending on the importance of

your confidential information.

The File Shredder provides the same capabilities for individual files and folders.

Finally, the System Clean-up wizard ensures elimination of all of the traces of your computer

activities When working on a PC, you leave thousands of bytes of evidence showing your actions. You

may not even be aware of these traces. This could include user names and passwords, as well as

other personal information that could be used to steal your identity if it fell into the wrong hands.

This utility wipes them all completely away from the disk drive.

The data destruction methods are described in detail in Hard Disk Wiping methods (p. 205) of this

guide.

9.6.1 Acronis DriveCleanser

Many operating systems do not provide users with secure data destruction tools, so deleted files can

be recovered easily by using simple applications. Even a complete disk reformat cannot guarantee

permanent confidential data destruction.

Acronis DriveCleanser solves this problem with guaranteed and permanent data destruction on

selected hard disks and/or partitions. It allows you to select from a number of data destruction

algorithms depending on the importance of your confidential information.

Working with Acronis DriveCleanser

Acronis DriveCleanser allows you to perform the following:

 clean up the selected hard disks or partitions using preset algorithms

 create and execute custom user algorithms of hard disk clean-up.

Acronis DriveCleanser is based on a wizard that scripts all hard disk operations, so no data

destruction is performed until you click Proceed in the wizard's Summary window. At any moment,

you can return to the previous steps to select other disks, partitions or data destruction algorithms.

To permanently destroy data on your disk:
