Product tour. Built-in algorithms

Below you can see screenshots of Acronis Drive Cleanser 6.0 working with built-in wiping algorithms.


See larger picture		Selecting partitions and/or hard disks for wiping The wiping of confidential data with Acronis Drive Cleanser 6.0 software begins by selecting partitions and/or disks containing such data. There is detailed information on disks and their partitions provided for your convenience. The figure shows the primary partition of the second hard disk selected for wiping of the confidential data (it is marked with a red cross).

See larger picture		Deleting a partition and/or a disk after data destruction In addition to the destruction of confidential data, the Acronis Drive Cleanser 6.0 software is capable of formatting selected partitions and/or whole hard disk drives, or deleting partitions. By default partitions and/or disks are selected to be formatted.

See larger picture		Predefined algorithms of data destruction Acronis Drive Cleanser 6.0 features the list of predefined algorithms containing known national standards as well as algorithms developed by authoritative experts in data security. For example, the U.S. Standard DoD 5220.22-M and the algorithm of P. Gutmann.

See larger picture		Script of confidential data destruction After selecting a partition and/or a disk, partition formatting or deletion, and the wiping algorithm, a scripted scenario of data destruction will be created. No real actions will be performed on a disk up to this point. You can execute the script or reject it by returning a step or several steps to select another partition or new algorithm. After clicking the Proceed button the script of data destruction will be executed.

See larger picture		The completion of data destruction script "The Data Wiping Complete" window will inform you that the script has completed its work. You may either end the program by pressing the Exit button (that will result in rebooting the computer), or you may see the results of wiping by pressing the View disks button.

See larger picture		The utility for viewing the contents of hard disk partitions The DiskViewer utility allows you to see the contents of sectors on a hard disk partitions after wiping of the confidential data by means of the built-in and custom algorithms.
