Need AV and/or Internet access?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Hope this is not a dumb question but I cannot seem to find the answer here or in ageneral web search.

Using ATI 2016 to back up images to usb connected external drive.

Should av (Avast) and/or Internet access be switched off?

Are there any consequences for a restore if av is switched on?

 

Thanks in anticipation

Kevan, the simple answer is that there is no need to switch off either your AntiVirus or Internet when backing up with ATIH 2016 - I certainly have never needed to do so and have not encountered any problems with restoring.

If you want to be absolutely 110% certain that your backup image is unaffected by any running program, including the Windows operating system, then there is always the option to boot the computer from the Acronis Recovery / Rescue media and perform the backup or restore in that offline mode where neither Windows nor any other installed application is active.

Hello Kevan,

You could also add Acronis to the while list in your anti-virus software: https://kb.acronis.com/content/46430
