Is This Right ?

Thread needs solution

I have just installed Acronis True 2019 on my mac and its a bit weird .

Not sure if its a bug but my back up is only 401.02GB and the backup drive is 1.82TB

Hello Cameron,

That's definitely not right. Seems like there is some drive in the system that Acronis True Image reads incorrectly.

Could you send us a feedback with a system report? (the "Send feedback" is in the Acronis True Image menu).

Thank you! Received the report - seems like there is nothing wrong with the drives - standard APFS. 

Could you launch the backup again and let me know if the issue is the same? Maybe it was some strange one-time glitch.

How much of the backup drive is actually in use? A 2tb drivee that is only using a portion of the drives full storage size will result in a substantially smaller backup than the size of the entire drive. You can get the size and used space by right clicking the drive icon and selecting "get info". The initial backup size shouldn't be bigger than the total used drive space and is often smaller due to compression.
