ATI 2021 devouring bandwidth

Thread needs solution

I've been running Acronis True Image 2021 for most of this year. It noticeably slows my system down but I put up with it for the level of protection it provides. But starting last week I noticed a lot of data being transferred over my internet connection each day. Verizon just notified me that I had almost used up my monthly allotment of 30GB within a week of my turnover date! I normally use about 10GB per month...it's only been a week and I've used almost 30GB.

I searched around my system to find what program was transferring so much data and Acronis kept popping up with large amounts of daily internet activity. I uninstalled ATI 2021 and reverted back to ATI 2020. Data activity went back to normal and programs start and run much faster. ATI 2021 has been a headache since its inception. I can't imagine the newest iteration is much of an improvement.

Wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue.

I have not noticed this behavior. However I have unlimited data on my 100/20 connection. I also have multiple computers plus spend a lot of time using Netflix/Amazon/Britbox. I can only assume that the most likely culprit is the downloading of CyberProtect updates. [I only have CyberProtec active on one of my PCs and it has not been used very much in the last few months.
