In previous versions it was not exactly seamless to backup to the cloud.

Once again, the entry level cloud version comes with 250GB and the top of the line version comes with 1TB. This is why Acronis includes Cloud Storage with their two ‘cloud’ tier options. Whether it is because they do not own a Network Attached Storage device, or they simply are too busy (or simply forget) to plug in an external USB drive every once in a while and manually copy it, a surprisingly large number of people do not take this extra step.

This is why we personally always backup to our NAS and an external USB drive that is only attached during backups. While that will indeed get you out of a simple jam, like a dead OS drive, it will do jack squat against a nasty virus that nukes not only your ‘C’ drive but infects the hell out of everything and anything attached to said system. Too many people simply make a backup and keep it on the same rig – just on a different hard drive / storage device. We say this, as when it comes to storing your backup images the old adage “one is none, and two is one” springs to mind. This arguably is actually more important than the newer and faster compression algorithms used. The other big feature is auto-replication. So, there is really no downside to upgrading from a compatibility point of view. tib files are not backwards compatible with previous versions, previously created. Better still is while these improved 2020 edition. So yes, it is indeed faster than it ever was before. Using the same setting 2020 edition took 92 minutes to back up 300GB into a 225GB. In testing Acronis 2019 set to maximum compression took 97 minutes to back up 267GB into a 237GB. Instead they vaguely talk about ‘improvements’ to the duplication detection and ‘faster than’ ever blurbs. Acronis – for obvious reasons – is not explicitly stating what has and has not changed. The most interesting improvement is the under the hood improvements Acronis has done to its backup and compression algorithms. It simply a nice little feature that Acronis feels every use should get. In other words this is not a feature designed to entice you purchase a yearly cloud plan. It is simply a nice little bonus feature included with all versions of Acronis TI 2020.

This is a nice improvement that actually makes the software easier to use. For example, if it pukes out and fails due to lack of storage space… it will let you know and get your attention.

This generation it will give you not only a lot more details, but will use standard push notifications built into Windows 10 to notify you when things change. In previous generations you could easily hover over the Acronis TI icon in your desktop tray and get an idea of what it was doing. The least of these upgrades is push notifications. Also included is a fourth option – desktop push notification. The major ones are: auto replication, new backup features, and better anti-ransomware abilities. More importantly, instead of worrying about Icons or User Interface improvements this generation Acronis has instead focused in on a few key areas. This is a good thing, as having to learn a new UI every year would get tedious to say the least. As you can see the User-Interface has not changed from the last generation.
