Hesitating to upgrade from Acronis 2019 to 2021

Thread solved

Hi,

I am running Acronis True Image 2019 perpetual license.

I haven't upgraded to the new Acronis Acronis Cyber Protect as I don't need ransomware, anti-malware...features.

Yesterday I have received an offer for c subscription that include a new setting for Modular component installation  so I will able to install only backup component.

a. Is there perpetual license for the new Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Essentials

b. Are the image and backup file .tib or .tibx (.tib gives me separate file for each daily backup).

c. Will Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Essentials read and restore Acronis True Image 2019 .tib files.

Regards,

a: See KB 68375: Licensing change FAQ: Acronis products switch to subscription-only licenses - where this change was announced!  So no more perpetual licenses for ACPHO versions.

b: ACPHO (along with ATI 2020 / 2021) now defaults to using .tibx files for all new Disks & Partitions backups, which in turn consolidates incrementals backups in a single file with the initial full backup of the chain.  Files & Folders backups continue to use .tib files with separate files for incrementals.

c: Yes, ACPHO is backwards compatible with files produced by older versions of ATI - see the document in my signature with more detailed information.

If you are happy with how ATI 2019 works for you and your requirements, then keep with it.  It will work fine with Windows 11 with just a single exception (also present in Windows 10) which is that the Acronis Try & Decide feature will prevent Windows Core Isolation / Memory Integrity from being enabled (for which there is a work-around if needed).

I'm still using ATI 2019 on my main PC and see no reason yet to move on.

Try & Decide is present in ATI 2019 and will prevent Windows Core Isolation / Memory Integrity from being enabled if you have Windows 10 or 11.

This is a known issue and only resolved by Acronis in the latest build 40107 version of Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office which now offers a Custom Install option where users can now elect not to install the 'Try&Decide tool' feature (which brings the tib.sys driver to Windows).

For users of older versions of Acronis, see forum topic: Incompatible Driver(s): tib.sys? | Acronis Forum for information on how to circumvent the issue by renaming tib.sys to such as tib.~sys or by removing the associated registry entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tib

Note: you may need to do a Safe mode start of Windows to action the above options.
