Acronis True Image 2019 for Macs cleanup / maximum number of backup versions

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I am in the process of evaluating ATI 2019 for Macs, and I tried to change the number of versions of kept backup files the default value of 20 to 60.  To my surprise ATI does not allow for a value greater than 20.  19, 18 17...all good, just not more than 20.

Is this something characteristic to the fact that I am running an evaluation, and will it go away once/if I decide to purchase the thing?

Thanks!

Marek, welcome to these public User Forums.

I believe that this is a limitation of all versions of the ATI for Mac application and not just because you are evaluating a trial copy.

The ATI 2019 User Guide for Mac states the following:

Backup retention rules

Every time you run a backup operation, manually or on a schedule, Acronis True Image 2019 creates a new backup version in the backup location. By default, Acronis True Image 2019 stores 20 recent versions. This rule applies to both Acronis Cloud and local or network folders. When you create the twenty-first version, Acronis True Image 2019 automatically deletes the oldest version of the backup. You can change the default value and set a different limit on the number of backup versions.

If you want to clarify this further, then please raise a Support Ticket direct with Acronis who will be able to give the definitive answer.  I am not a Mac user so cannot test this myself.

Hello Marek,

Currently, Acronis True Image for Mac is programmed to store no more than 20 versions in one archive due to an old architectural limitation, but we have plans to remove the restriction. I've added a reference to this topic as a vote for the existing change request (internal ID TI-134657).

Thank you,
