Not a happy customer (since 2014)....
My first was True Image in 2014.
It worked just fine for the one machine I cared about.
Now however I have a couple Windows PC machines plus a number Linux machines.
In 2022 I bought a 3 machine license for workstations (Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office).
First of all it is a total misnomer. A lot of home offices have a server as well but there is NO provision in this product to back it up as well.
Setting up backups is clumsy and crude. There are a number of opensource (freeware) products that have a much better gui.
Furthermore, what ever happened to the 3-2-1 backup strategy? Try doing that with this product. There are no facilities for copying backups to another machine while doing the backup itself. That is part of the original 3-2-1 backup strategy. Heck there isn't even an option to make a second copy. All this SHOULD be able to be done locally at the very least. There should also be the option to send the second copy off to another machine (or NAS).
Having given this product almost a year to prove itself I believe it's time to move to a product that can effectively do the 3-2-1 backup strategy with ease.
