Acronis True Image 2020 for MAC OSX - No Backup Scheme Options?
Greetings - I would like to set my MacBook Pro to backup IN FULL every week (i.e. no incrementals). On the Win 10 version of Acronis True Image 2020 you do this via the "Backup Scheme" tab (then Custom Scheme) under Options. I don't see this same thing on the MAC OSX version. How can I set this up on the MAC OSX Version ???
Thanks in advance, Mark

Hello Mark ,
As Steve correctly pointed out, currently it's only possible to run always incremental backup schemes on Mac. I've logged a feature request for your wish (internal ID for TI-176465 [Mac] Support creation of custom backup schemes)

Hello Ekaterina,
ATI for Mac prior to 2020 used to create incremental backups after the first Full backup and runs all the way up to the end of the 20th version, then starts to remove the oldest to maintain 20 versions all the time. I learned to live with that and occasionally I would start a new full backup manually.
Now, in ATI 2020, it looks like we can have up to 999 versions as a max, which is fine. However there seems to be a major issue (problem) with the program. It starts on its own a new full backup file every 6th incremental backup. There's no way to configure this nor to control it in any way or form. This is extremely frustrating as I have a lot of data on my main drive, and creating a new full backup so frequently takes very long time and exhaust the capacity of my large back drive very quickly with no automated nor manual way of control short of deleting the the whole backup and start a fresh one.
Can you please look into this and let us know if there's a solution.
Thank you very much.
