Acronis True Image Active Protection
-
Hi all, Lately I bought Acronis True Image 2020. It's been in my computer for one entire week now... and I've noticed it comes with Active Protection (a ransomware protection system). Have you used it? Any opinion about it? Better or worse than the same thing in the Windows antivirus? Thank you all...

I use the Acronis backup software. As a backup solution it meets my purposes, but I don't know about the anti-ransomware part. From a couple of experiments that I performed, I suspect that it only protects its own backups against modification by external programs, so you can always recover your system from the backup. It does not replace a full anti-virus solution, and it does not eliminate the hassle of restoring your system if the worst happens. I would not get rid of any anti-virus software just yet...

I've used Acronis for many years and never had any kind of popup or other notification from True Image. I'm thinking it only protects the backups!

Is that an Acronis product ? I know some software comes with additional shareware at best, or other nasty surprises - be sure this is not a randsomware itself !

I've tried to install a software from one of my usual providers and that Active Protection thing paused the installation and asked if I wanted to continue... That's how I discovered it was running... :wtf: I will not get rid of my AV...

AVG does that to me a lot. Sometimes it will refuse to run an application until it goes out to it's site and checks it which usually takes 15-20 minutes. What a PITA, but it's free and it does the job so I can't complain.

Aconis went through some shaky times but it seems they've recovered. It's a very good product and a leader in the industry. I've used it for many years and it has saved my butt more than once.

I've been using AOMEI since OG recommended it. It worked perfectly for me. Lately I've needed one paid feature and tried to buy it. It's been impossible... They have no other way to get the software than their web page and in order to buy there you must have an international VAT number active (if you want an invoice for your company). So after speaking with them and ahving not other option I went for Acronis... I have bought it in my usual software provider... at a better price than AOMEI for 3 computers. A Great deal and, moreover, the main brand of PLC I use can be backed up with a tool from the manufacturer that is an embedded acronis in a OEM USB stick. So win win for me... (I still don't know if that ransomware protection thing can be considered a win too). :cool::thumbsup:

I tried using Acronis once; it failed to create a full backup even once on Win10. I contacted them, let Support in to check my settings, and even they could never make it work. 'Tis a mystery...
