True Image Unlimited (Mac) disables screensaver and display sleep.
I just purchased and installed True Image Unlimited (Mac) and it seems to disable the screensaver and display sleep. To confirm I ran pmset from terminal and you can see that trueimaged is disabling displaysleep, it also seems to be preventing the screensaver.
Anyone know why Acronis would need to disable the screensaver or sleep for the display to function? I need to have these functions back.
$ pmset -g

I'm running my first mac backup using Acronis True Image Cloud and am noticing the same thing. The screen saver did not come on and the display did not go int sleep mode. Is this by design?
Seeing as this initial 100 GB backup looks like it might take 24 hours it would be good if the screen saver worked and the display turned off.
Regards
Steve

Hello Stephen Tickner,
This is not by design behavior.
Fix for this issue will be available in next update of Acronis True Image for Mac 2016.
Thank you.
