MacBook Pro gets hot when Acronis True Image 2018 runs

Thread needs solution

I have been trying Acronis True Image 2018 for around 2 weeks.  It runs twice per day and when it runs, the fans start running on my laptop and it starts getting hot.  Is this normal behaviour?

David, welcome to these User Forums.

I have no direct experience in running ATIH 2018 on other than Windows systems, but yes, the application can stress your computer system depending on what you are backing up, what level of compression is being used etc.

You could ask the same question in the separate Acronis True Image for Mac Forum where you are more likely to get responses from other Mac users.

I suspect it is 'normal'; I do not have a MacBook Pro but I see similar things on my Dell Notebook when it is under stress. The fans cut out once the backup starts - I backup to Cloud and my NAS, backing up to USB drive may put more stress on the Notebook due to higher throughput.
