Multiple Acronis services running, multiple internet activity

Thread needs solution

I have Acronis True Image 2021 installed. Like many experienced users, I am keen to prevent unneeded services etc from funning in the background. I am also a programmer. With this, I have 'Active Protection' turned off in the TI software. However, upon examining the output of various tools, amongst others, I see the following running all the time...

In Services :-
mmsminisrv - mms_mini.exe - Acronis Managed Machine Service Mini
afcdpsrv - afcdpsrv.exe -  Acronis Nonstop Backup Service
AcrSch2Svc - schedul2.exe - Acronis Scheduler2 Service
syncagentsrv - syncagentsrv.exe - Acronis Sync Agent Service
AcronisActiveProtectionService - anti_ransomware_service.exe - AcronisActiveProtectionService

Actively connecting to the internet, and sending and receiving data, I see :-
mms_mini.exe - Acronis Managed Machine Service Mini
anti_ransomware_service.exe - AcronisActiveProtectionService
aakore.exe - Acronis Agent Core
adp-agent.exe - Acronis Cyber Protect Agent
updater.exe - Acronis Updater

Acronis, this is very concerning. I do NOT want anything running in the background - can you tell me (and others equally concerned) how to stop ALL of this background activity. I have no need for it and use your software ONLY for local image backups.
