Works fine for me. I use it for system image backups. Never failed. I would only like to disable all the unnecessary services running in the background.

I have been running Acronis True Image for about a year. I purchased multiple multi-computer licenses. In the one case where I needed to recover a system due to a lightening strike blowing a mother board, I found the recovery process too complicated and time consuming.

Today I applied the July 2018 Windows 10 security roll-up update to one machine. Upon reboot Acronis reported that I had exceeded the maximum number of activations for the license key. it then offered a number of options to resolve the problem, including "I reinstalled Windows". I tried this option which required me entering account information which I did not have on hand at the time. Since I needed to get the system running, I used another license key that had a few activations left. That worked and all is ok.

Later I logged on to my Acronis account to discover there is absolutely no way to see a list of machines using a given license key. In fact, you can't even see how many activations have been used for a key.

I opened a chat with customer support who basically told me what I had already found. THEY know how many activations there are against each license but they aren't willing to make that information available to the customer or to allow the customer to centrally manage licenses. They just want to up-sell to more licenses and they cloud back-up service.

So, my take away is that Acronis cares more about preventing someone from using their precious software without buying a license than they do about supporting customers that have purchased bulk licenses.

Frankly, I'm looking for another solution which brought me to this article.

If you are looking for something quick, something just plug and play then this is not it.

Free/trial or with license it will still force you to register /login to their cloud something. Considering I was doing a recovery of failing drive in a disconnected VM this was a hard miss.

It is one of the best tools in this field but one issue to watch out which made me use another tool called "Gs Richcopy 360 " as a backup and copy tool is that "Acronis "makes backup Data into a single large file, that can only be accessed via Acronis, and any corruption on this file means this file is unusable. Thanks

Acronis ATI has become terrible. I need to restore twice last year and neither times would it work. I checked the backup and it passed as working but ay attempt to restore failed. I spend the equivalent of days with support. They'd keep having me do the same thing again and again. Eventually, after more than a month, I just gave up and told them to stop trying.

The 2021 product is unusable with useless extra features that I don't want. The 2020 version switched to a new file forma .tibx which dropped most of the useful features.

I discovered, and this has been verified by many users, the differential backup doesn't work, to restore, for example, a third differential backup you need all the previous backups, 1 & 2 in the example. I.e. Differential is actually Incrememental.

Try and find out how to make an off site backup by copying s regular backup - you can't move or duplicate a backup.

One last example - ATI 2021 has new features one of which is "deduplication" yet I have tried going through my support agreement and through sales but no one can tell me what the are deduplication.
