Mac users: the first backup is always full, all the subsequent are incrementals

Thread needs solution

On PC vision I can keep multiple full backups and keep the last x interactions to avoid an incremental corrupting a backup. .When can MAC version do multiple full backups?

HB, welcome to these User Forums.

Sorry but as far as I can see this is a design limitation for the ATI for MAC application so you would need to raise your question with Acronis Support to ask if they have any intention of changing this design?

The design is documented in KB 61596: Acronis True Image 2019: comparison of feature set in Windows and macOS

Hello HB,

There is no intention (and it is not technically possible) for the change to do multiple full versions in the same backup plan - it is in the architecture of the technology used by Acronis True Image for Mac.

So  I just realized I can just do multiple backup jobs and alternate schedule days or sequential timed backups- at least if there is a Acronis software error or non-disk related backup corruption I can go to an earlier alternate backup.
