Leaving Acronis for Macrium
Recently, I've made the decision to soon abandon Acronis for Macrium and thought I'd post here so that Bagaudin can respond/take the feedback for what its worth.
I have been a regular Acronis user for a long, long time. My configuration is Windows 7 and ATI Home 11. I do nightly image full AND weekly incremental backups of my data partition and keep copies of them locally and on my NAS. (Yes, it's overkill and its what I do.) Occasionally, I move historical backup copies offsite.
From time to time I also create system images. I run a multi-boot system with three (3) copies of Windows 7 -- production, backup production, and sandbox. (BTW, Notice that having myriads of backups of my data partition and keeping copies of air-gapped system images *IS* protection against ransom. I don't know why Acronis thinks it needs to write a single line of code for this. You restore a clean system image and restore your data partition and you're good to go.)
My backup world changed when I bought a Windows 10 laptop. I wanted to be able to download and mount versions of my backup.tib files on laptop, take them on the road, etc.
