I used ATI for Windows for years and while it was a pain to admin and always had a bug or three, it was pretty configurable and did a good job, if you put in effort. This is not the same ATI. It has almost no configuration options, no custom scheduling of backup sets and consolidation rules, no notifications.
But the big feature that interested me is it claims to be able to do snapshot-consistent backups of Parallels Desktop v.11 images. In fact, Parallels also advertises this and even has a button from within PD to launch ATI. However, THIS DOES NOT WORK -- ATI 2016 cannot create PD11 snapshots. Acronis support acknowledges this problem and claims it will be fixed in a future update (while Parallels confirms it's an ATI problem), but both ATI 2016 and PD11 have been out for months now, no ETA on any such fix.
Acronis' suggested workaround? Downgrade to PD10. Hahaha, downgrade one of the main apps I use all day long to work around a bug in backup software? No. Since PD backup is the only unique feature and the only reason I can see to choose ATI for Mac, I'm not. If they ever fix this showstopper bug, I'll definitely be happy to try it again.

As noted in a previous Knowledge Base article, there is a bug in Mac OS X 10.5.6 that causes it to report no search results when searching against AFP servers other than Mac OS X 10.5, including Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP), Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), and Microsoft's now discontinued Services for Macintosh.

Greetings - I would like to set my MacBook Pro to backup IN FULL every week (i.e. no incrementals). On the Win 10 version of Acronis True Image 2020 you do this via the 'Backup Scheme' tab (then Custom Scheme) under Options. I don't see this same thing on the MAC OSX version. How can I set this up on the MAC OSX Version ???

Thanks in advance, Mark

Mark, I am not a Mac owner or user so am relying on the ATI 2020 User Guide for Mac for this topic.

In the Basic Concepts section of the user guide it has the following information:

Backup versions

A backup version is created during a backup operation. Each version represents a point in time to which the system or data can be restored. The first backup version contains all the data selected for backup. The second and subsequent versions contain only data changes that occurred since the previous backup version. All the backup versions are stored in a single backup file.

Backup file format

When you back up your Mac to a local storage or a network place, Acronis True Image 2020 saves backup data in the proprietary .tib or .tibx format, by using compression. The data from .tib or .tibx file backups can be recovered only through Acronis True Image 2020.

The above says to me that you are only able to create Incremental type backups with the Mac ATI application then use the Backup retension rules to control how many such files are created.

Schedule

For your backups to be really helpful, they must be as up-to-date as possible. Schedule your backups to run on a regular basis.

Backup retention rules

Every time you run a backup operation, manually or on a schedule, Acronis True Image 2020 creates a new backup version in the backup location. To delete obsolete backup versions automatically, you can set the backup retention rules.Refer to Cleaning up backups, backup versions, and replicas for details.

Cleaning up backups, backup versions, and replicas

Every time you run a backup operation, manually or on a schedule, Acronis True Image 2020 creates a new backup version in the backup location. By default, Acronis True Image 2020 stores 20 recent versions. This rule applies to both Acronis Cloud and local or network folders. When you create the twenty-first version, Acronis True Image 2020 automatically deletes the oldest version of the backup. You can change the default value and set a different limit on the number of backup versions.

Hello Mark ,

As Steve correctly pointed out, currently it's only possible to run always incremental backup schemes on Mac. I've logged a feature request for your wish (internal ID for TI-176465 [Mac] Support creation of custom backup schemes)

Hello Ekaterina,

ATI for Mac prior to 2020 used to create incremental backups after the first Full backup and runs all the way up to the end of the 20th version, then starts to remove the oldest to maintain 20 versions all the time. I learned to live with that and occasionally I would start a new full backup manually.

Now, in ATI 2020, it looks like we can have up to 999 versions as a max, which is fine. However there seems to be a major issue (problem) with the program. It starts on its own a new full backup file every 6th incremental backup. There's no way to configure this nor to control it in any way or form. This is extremely frustrating as I have a lot of data on my main drive, and creating a new full backup so frequently takes very long time and exhaust the capacity of my large back drive very quickly with no automated nor manual way of control short of deleting the the whole backup and start a fresh one.

Can you please look into this and let us know if there's a solution.
