How extractly Arconis backup protect against ransomware?

Thread needs solution

From Acronis website, Acronis backup feature:

 Avoid downtime by actively protecting files from unauthorized modification and/or encryption. Acronis Active Protection uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and white-listing to keep your data safe.

If I backup the files to local disk, the backup is just a file on another disk, ransomeware still able to encrypt the backup file. So how extractly Arconis backup protect against ransomware?

Hi!
Thank you for your interest in Acronis software! 

If the program acts similar to ransomware behavior, it is considered as suspicious. Acronis Active Protection uses behavioral heuristics and analyzes chains of actions done by a program (a process), which is then compared with the chain of events in a database of malicious behavior patterns.

When Acronis Ransomware Protection detects a process that tries to encrypt your files or inject malicious code into a healthy process, it informs you about it. You can quickly block the process. Even if your files were encrypted by ransomware, you can recover them from temporary copies (created automatically when the app detects malicious activity) or the existing backup.

After you block a process, it cannot access your files anymore and cannot do your computer any harm.

Thanks.

So if I use Acronis backup console to deploy the client agent to client PC, run local backup.

Is that the client agent include Active Protection feature by default?

Exactly, if you're using Acronis Backup 12.5. Active Protection is available for machines running Windows 7 and later, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later. Agent for Windows must be installed on the machine.
