Acronis True Image 2021 (Build 30290) (August 20, 2020) Website Release Notes Spoiler: What's New 2021 What's new in Acronis True Image 2021 for Windows? Acronis True Image 2021 for Windows has become a cyber protection product with enhanced backup and protection capabilities: .tibx archives can now be mounted, moved, renamed, and converted to the .vhd format. Added an option to validate only the latest backup version to speed up the regular validation process. Versions of backups to Acronis Cloud now can be cleaned up from the Acronis True Image console. Backup replication to the Acronis Cloud now supports resuming, which helps save time for those with an unstable internet connection. In case of a connection issue, the replication of backups to the Acronis Cloud stops. When the connection is restored, the replication continues from the point where it stopped, to prevent duplication of the already replicated data. The Web Restore page was redesigned to make the Anywhere Access to cloud data faster, more secure, and convenient. To better protect our users, Acronis True Image has received additional security functionalities to shield data from any type of malware: Enhancements to our real-time protection can block not only ransomware, but other types of malware, too. The on-demand antivirus scans can search at-risk file types, or your entire system, for viruses. Web filtering protects you from malicious websites. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and WebEx meetings are protected from intrusion and theft of personal information.

Imaging software doesn't need to be anti malware software. It only needs to create images and restore images. In my last encounter it failed to do that latter. They need to stop adding "features" and focus on the main purpose of the product. This one has been ongoing for years. They need to fix stuff like this. Or don't. Fortunately there are other options.
I stopped using Acronis since years ever since they started adding more bloatware like cloud backup and whatnot! All I need is a simple offline one click backup! Nothing else!
Not to mention Acronis is getting to be an Operating System size download. For most, that doesn't matter. For those of us whose only Internet is via laptop tethered to smartphone, with limited data, it matters.

Someone informed me that this soft had a snapshot a.k.a fast restore function. I installed and looked it over and could not find any. Did i miss it or has it been removed, maybe never existed?
Look for Try-n-Decide. It used to be in older versions of ATI but I'm not sure if it's still in ATI 2021.
