When it detects a third-party process that tries to encrypt your files, it informs you about it, and asks if you want to allow the process to modify your files or block the process. Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation monitors processes running on your computer by using the real-time mode. Tested the new Acronis True Image 2017 backup and restore for my Windows 10 LTSB Enterprise install on an SSD drive, using the whole disk backup/restore options.Ransomware protection-Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your files or blocks access to an entire system, and then demands ransom for restoring access to your data. #CAN ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 2017 CREATE GPT IMAGES INSTALL# The backup went well, as always: quick, efficient with small disk image size.
However, a test restore of the whole disk turned out to be a disaster. Since I don't do OS image restore often these days, I accidentally ticked the "restore whole disk" option, which automatically selected "restore MBR and first track 0". the restore resulted in a non bootable OS, not surprisingly, since my OS is a UEFI with secure boot system. I then tried to restore again, with the "Restore MBR and track 0" manually unselected. But since this was no longer considered a "Whole disk restore", I had to manually confirm the correct location for each GPT partitions to restore. I am very curious why Acronis still keep that option (Restore MBR and Track 0), no matter the type of your OS/system (MBR vs UEFI Secure boot). Neither Macrium Reflect nor IFW/IFL has that option, while they restore perfectly fine without confusing users with that stupid "restore MRB and track 0" option.įortunately I have a disk image made by IFL, which saved my ass this time. Considering this potential pitfall for whole disk restore, I will ditch Acronis, and do my duplicate OS backups with IFL and Macrium Reflect. After all, speed is important, but reliability and bs-free in both backup and restore are more so. I have to say, after about 4 whole disk OS backup/restore, it turns out IFL v3 is the all time champion on both backup and restore in all aspect for offline backup/restore. Speed, size of disk image (at high compression levels, e.g., enhanced size B/C), the speed of whole OS disk restore, easy to use GUI. IFL even surpassed Acronis at speed and size of disk image at high compression level by a few percent. It appears the utilization of multi-thread backup/restore in IFL v3 works really well on multi-core CPUs, such as desktop i7 (4 core, 8 threads) and i5 (4 cores, 4 threads). #CAN ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 2017 CREATE GPT IMAGES INSTALL#.
