Sync local folders without internet connection
I need to use the "sync local folders" function in my pc, hence, I have to log in into my Acronis account to use it; However, I don't have internet in that computer.
Is there a way to use "sync local folders" avoiding to log in my account?
Thanks.

Is it really true that trueimage cannot be used fully without Internet access? I accept required Internet access for initial registration or for time-to time regular checks of correct license, but not for continous communication. I am using my notebook on business trips and plan to backup my work with local sync regularly on a USB-harddisk. An of course on a business trip you have not always Internet connection (plane, train, beach, hotel, meeting room, conference, ...).
And why is there any sync description shared with Acronis servers? I see with my windows firewall, that there is a lot (A LOT) of IP communication ongoing between trueimage processes and the Internet (and this even without any single backup job). This missing respect of Acronis for personal data security of non-cloud-data for non-cloud-services makes me concerned.

I just ran into this constraint as well. Why in the hell would you need internet access to sync two local folders? Unless I'm doing a cloud backup, a backup program should not need to access the internet to work. It's an unnecessary requirement and it's a possible privacy violation as well. Why doesn't True Image detect there's no internet access and proceed with the local backup. I see no benefit to requiring this. I wouldn't be purchasing True Image again if it has this constraint. I get freeware that does folder syncs offline, I can't believe I paid for software that doesn't do a simple thing like this offline.
