Whats the deal with this new "PROTECTION"?

Thread needs solution

I just upgraded to the latest version of True Image. It started scanning my computer for malware or whatever and started quarantining good files from my TimeMachine Backup.

 

Did the company get purchase by someone new? why is this AV stuff built into backup software messing with files and scanning stuff in the background using up resources?

Michael, welcome to these public User Forums.

This is the direction that Acronis are heading in with becoming a Cyber Protection company and including this in their Backup applications.

There are lots of topics in the 2021 forum from users complaining about this force change but very little that users can do other than vote with their feet, or disable the new Protection as far as possible using the few settings provided in the ATI GUI > Protection panel.

Please submit Feedback directly to Acronis (use the tool provided in the GUI Help section) and ask for your vote to be added to the Acronis internal feature request: TI-213392 Allow installation without Antimalware components.

Done, membership cancelled and refund requested.

 

The dumb AV started moving stuff from TimeMachine backups into quarantine and screwed up my TimeMachine Backups.

ATI 2021 caused more support requests than ever before on my systems. Subscription was canceled because there are no fruitful solutions.
