Warning: Creating a Survival Kit can destroy your Time Machine (or other Mac) drive

I am running TI 2020 for Mac version 24.4.21810, most current version as of this date. I created a new backup definition. A very aggravating feature of Acronis is that you have to actually run a new definition in order to save it. So I ran the backup which was full machine to a folder in the Acronis share on a NAS. A pop up asked if I wanted to create a Survival Kit. Since my old recovery thumb drive was created under Mohave and I was now running Catalina, I inserted the thumb drive and said yes. Acronis never asked where to create the Survival Kit. I had a 3TB drive plugged into a USB C docking station that was configured as a bootable Mac Time Machine drive. Acronis carved out a new partition on this drive, installed the bootable recovery stuff. It then proceeded to run the backup. However it changed the destination target from the NAS to the same USB drive and several hours later it had put a 914GB .tibx file on the USB. I really don't like having to run an enormous backup to save a definition. The first time I rebooted holding down the option key, the Acronis drive showed up with the Mac and Windows bootable drives. However it never showed up as bootable again after the first time. So I guess that drive is no longer bootable as an Acronis recovery drive or a Mac Time Machine. Three more items Acronis need to fix: 1. Allow user to select where to create Survival Kit. 2. Do not change the destination target for backup. 3. Allow user to save a backup definition without actually running it. Just for the record, I have 5 ATI licenses. I believe I have been using ATI for about 7 years. We are in the process of migrating from Windows to Mac, so 3 machines are Macs with a Windows Bootcamp partition and the other 2 are pure Windows. I was extremely disappointed in the Mac version of ATI even before this latest incident. I will be looking into alternatives.
