  • The on-demand antivirus scan searches all of the files on your computer for viruses.
  • Constant user experience improvement:
  • Acronis True Image now supports the native macOS Dark Mode.

New in Acronis True Image 2021 2020.20770 (Aug 30, 2019)

  • Dual Protection:
  • Acronis makes the protection process easy and efficient by replicating local backups in the cloud automatically, so that you always have an off-site copy available for recovery. Once you’ve successfully completed the first backup, the backup and replication occur simultaneously.
  • Enhanced Backup Technology:
  • Our new backup format delivers a better overall performance, enabling faster browsing of cloud backups, improved speed for backups and recovery, and data deduplication.
  • Tray Notification Center:
  • You can get messages pushed to your desktop tray. This allows you to monitor the status of your backups easily, receive timely tips on how to enhance your protection, and quickly respond to any issues.
  • Enriched Anti-Ransomware:
  • As cyberthreats continue to evolve, we constantly enhance Acronis Active Protection to stay ahead of them. Our new machine learning models make our software more effective and the latest version now stops illicit service termination attacks. You will be informed of the reason a particular process is being monitored or blocked as malicious.
  • Back up on Selected Wi-Fi:
  • You can easily avoid metered connections and unsecure public networks that put your data at risk, by selecting the Wi-Fi networks you use to back up your data. This keeps your uploads secure.
  • Custom Power Management:
  • Manage your backups so they don’t drain the battery. This ensures that your laptop will run when you need it. You can set a minimum power level for backups or completely block backups on battery power.

New in Acronis True Image 2021 2019.13660 (Aug 21, 2018)

  • New! Active disk cloning:
  • A clone is an exact replica of your Mac while it is in use – no need to stop and restart your system. Connect a USB-С cable to migrate your Mac, or plug in an external drive for a bootable copy creation. Bootcamp installations are supported as well.
  • New! Acronis Survival Kit:
  • To recover your Mac in case of a failure, you need to have two crucial components—a backup of your system disk and a bootable rescue media. Acronis Survival Kit is an external hard drive that contains both components so that you can have a single device that has everything that you need to recover your Mac. To create an Acronis Survival Kit you can use any external hard drive larger than 32 GB.
  • Parallels Desktop virtual machines backup and recovery:
  • Recovering virtual machines on your Mac is completely streamlined now that Acronis True Image 2019 uses a native Parallels Desktop technology to back up virtual machines. That means the VMs can be recovered as a set of files which can then be booted in a Parallels Desktop environment (starting from Parallels Desktop 14).
  • New! Enhanced scheduling flexibility:
  • We are making scheduling easier with the new option that allows starting backups whenever an external drive is connected. Configure a new backup plan, activate the option, and your backup will start automatically the next time you attach the designated USB drive to your Mac.

  • Acronis’ new technology for backing up files to the cloud improves backup speed and performance. That means the independently proven fastest cloud backup is even better, delivering secure, off-site storage that encrypts your data to ensure your digital privacy.

  • Monitor the number of processes that have been flagged as potentially dangerous, identify which ones were blocked, and manage a whitelist so your trusted applications can run uninterrupted. The dashboard provides metrics that show how Acronis Active Protection is defending your system.
  • WIRELESS MOBILE BACKUP TO NAS:
  • Back up your mobile device automatically to network-attached storage (NAS), as well as your local Mac or PC, using the local Wi-Fi connection. NAS can be left on all the time, so you’ll never miss backing up your mobile device: The process will start as soon as you connect to the same Wi-Fi as the NAS.
