Missing features?

Thread needs solution

I've been using True Image on Windows for a while. Now I'm using ATI 2015 on OS X, and I find that it's lacking most of the advanced options available in the Windows version. I read a review that referenced these features, so I thought they'd be available for Mac too.

Can you help me find the following features?
- Email notifications
- Backup compression settings
- Backup methods and incremental backup settings
- File exclusions
- Validation

If these are not currently supported, when can we expect them to be available?

I've just installed the trial version on Mac here, as I was looking at ATI 2015 Unlimited for Mac and PC as a cross-platform continuous backup solution.

From what I can see, the Mac software bears no resemblance to the PC version. It's a very basic imaging application, much like Carbon Copy Cloner or any number of other such apps. None of the advanced backup options, file/folder backups etc. are available, which means I've had to abandon my original plan.

Personally, I think the marketing on the Acronis website for the Mac version is highly misleading, as it implies the feature set for Mac and PC are very similar, which clearly they are not.

Back to the search ...

Hello Daniel, Jules, thank you for your postings!
Please refer to this comment for information about differences between Acronis True Image for Mac and Acronis True Image for PC.

Thank you.

I'm in complete agreement here. I used the last seat of my 3-pack ATI2015 PC+MAC to backup a Mac at the office. On my own two PC's, I have great control over backing up specific folders on one scheme and schedule and other volumes and folders on another scheme and schedule. Aside from scheduling there appears to be no control at all to the Mac version. I don't need "up to 10 versions" of any of my data, so that's just wasting tremendous amount of space, time, and HDD life. It's sad to see otherwise good software "dumbed down" because of the pervasive Mac paradigm of shielding users from any real awareness or control over their machines.
