Acronis 8 Backup question

| I backup the whole of my Hard Disc on the Acronis Secure Zone on a
partition of the same disc.
I then bought an External Hard drive, and set up a further secure zone
on my new hard drive, therefore in theory giving me two ways of backing
up the whole of my original hard drive.
When the new external hard drive is switched on the 'two' secure zones
are shown and are theoretically available to backup. However, when I try
to backup onto the secure zone on my external hard drive it appears to
begin checking sectors etc, but then when I check the data later, I have
found that the backup is again on the original Hard drive. Could any
Acronis experts help please.

I am not an expert at all... but you might want to have a look here:

Protected areas of the system are best left where their designers
intended them to be. I think the idea of using an external drive is a
good one though; booting up from the Acronis boot CD-ROM would be the
way to do it as windows can't lock the files (whereas Acronis does
according to its progress reports, IIRC), and then specify the external
drive, which it ought to 'see'.
The next stage is to have off site storage, and it is not cheap.
