Is there a version of MVP_PE builder that works with Acronis Cyber Protect

Thread needs solution

I had delayed upgrading to Acronis Cyber Protect out of fear that I would run in to an issue creating backup media with the MVP tools.  Sure enough the MVP ATIPE builder does not find or load "True Image" or the equivalent "Cyber Protect."  And I realize that I should not be surprised by that.  So, the question is, "Is there an MVP PE Builder that works with Acronis Cyber Protect?  I apologize in advance if the answer to this is obvious.  

If the answer is no then I'm wondering if my old backup media (created with ATI 2021 v 39216) will work with backups created with ACP.

Ken, you are correct that the MVP Custom PE Builder script does not work with ACPHO - this is because Acronis have changed all the program paths in their renaming of the application from True Image to Cyber Protect.

The main author, Mustang (Paul) has been reluctant to try to 'fix' these paths issues in part because the current implementation of ACPHO is only temporary while Acronis are doing a full rewrite of the application and no-one knows what other changes that will bring when it is released sometime in 2022??

At this time users will have to go back to using the standard Acronis bootable rescue media builder tool to create 'Simple' or 'Advanced' types of rescue media.

On the question of whether your ATI 2021 media will work with the backup files created by ACPHO - the answer is 'maybe'?  but isn't guaranteed as Acronis only ever do backwards compatibility testing for their applications and backup images.

Steve,

Thank you for your prompt reply.  In the past I didn't have great success restoring an entire drive using the "simple" or "advanced" type of rescue media.  None the less, I have created both WinRE and WinPE usb media and will keep my fingers crossed if I actually have to use them.  I look forward to an MVP builder for ACPHO and will keep an eye on the forum in anticipating of that.  I am, however, very sympathetic with Mustang's point of view.

Steve,

Is there a straight forward way to go back to ATI v 39216?  So far I have not created any back ups using ACPHO.

Ken, reverting back from ACPHO to ATI 2021 will require a full uninstall of ACPHO and then a clean new install of ATI 2021 because program paths have changed.

You can try saving your backup task configuration to a zip file via the option at the bottom of the main Settings page in the GUI, then see if you can bring this back using the import option on the older version, otherwise you would need to recreate or reconfigure your tasks.

The alternative would be if you have an OS disk backup taken before upgrading to ACPHO that you can restore back but doing this will lose any other changes that may have been made in the interim time.

Steve,

Thanks,

Ken
