Non-cloud options

Thread solved

I sent this message to Acronis several days ago and have not received an answer.  It's just so great to see companies that really care about helping their customers and supporting their products.

Based on what I see on the Acronis website, v2019 is a cloud-based solution.  I don't find any information on the website that indicates it is a local solution.  I've been using v2014 but it has started giving me significant problems.  

Cloud is a bad choice.  No one should EVER rely on someone else to take care of their important data.  Temporary stuff via Dropbox or other is a different matter.  True backup, absolutely not.  Even if someone wants to use a cloud solution, the cost is prohibitive when you get past a small data package.  I have terabytes to back up, not megabytes, or even a few hundred gigabytes.

Can v2019 operate as a standalone, local solution, or is it a cloud-only solution?  If v2019 is not available as a standalone, local solution, are there any other Acronis products that operate as non-cloud solutions?  I'm looking at personal/small business, not enterprise solutions.

Thanks.

No problem to backup just locally. There is no requirement to use the cloud. I'm still on ATI 2018, but I do all backups locally. I prefer only blue sky.

Ditto to Bruno.  All ATI versions come in 3 license types, of which 2 include Cloud storage and are subscription based, but the other is for a Perpetual license with no Cloud storage or ability to use the Acronis Cloud.

You should be considering upgrading to the ATI 2019 Perpetual license.
