"Acronis Managed Machine Service Mini" service constant 125MB/s disk usage

Thread needs solution

I just found the reason my backup HHD is in continual usage, 125MB/s & 75% throughput usage

"Acronis Managed Machine Service Mini" service (mms_mini.exe)

Why is it constantly reading/writing to the backup hard drive? 
What is the exe used for?

It's acting like malware with this kind of continual usage when the machine is idle otherwise.
Notice in screen grab usage falls to ZERO immediately after service is stopped.

See KB 69466: Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office: Windows services and processes for a description of all the Acronis components.

The MMSM service communicates with the Acronis online dashboard and you can set the service start option to either Manual or Disabled via the Windows services control panel (services.msc).
