A week ago I bought Acronis True Image 2017. I'm not sure it meets my needs.
Yesterday it was furiously doing things behind my back, so I stopped all of its services.

Can somebody tell me the best way to proceed?

My goal is disaster recovery of my computer running Windows 10 Professional.
I have done disaster recovery on many kinds of computers since the 1970's.
On my wife's Macbook Pro, the program SuperDuper easily does these things.

  • Create image backups of my desktop computer.
  • I must be able to do restores to bare hardware, with tech support when I need it.
  • Backups will be stored on external disks
  • No network will be connected during backups or restores.
  • Nothing will be automatically scheduled.

Things I do not need:

  • I don't need continuous, automatic backup. I have that already.
  • Differential and incremental backups are nice, but secondary.
  • Excluding some data is nice, but secondary.
  • Browsing the backup image is nice, but secondary.
  • Booting from the backup image is nice, but seconday. ]

I like Torvald's motto: "As simple as possible, but no simpler."

Yes, True Image do all these things. Tech support is always available for restoring.

You don't need to set up a NonStop backup. You can also turn off all Acronis services EXCEPT the Schedul2 service, which is necessary even to run a backup taks interactively.

You don't need any of the Acronis startup items, UNLESS you want to mount an image.

So you can configure Acronis to run lean and mean, and still provide the protection required.
