#TIL If somebody sends you a #tib file (#Acronis #TrueImage which is now called something stupid with #Cyber) you do not need to open an account with them to get a #bootdisk to restore the #backup to a VM or machine. Install the demo version of the abomination of an app into a throwaway VM, go to the install folder, find the amedia.exe (acronismedia.exe?), run it and presto, you can create a reusable #linux #bootmedium from the advanced menu.

After #Acronis True Image backup price hike I've been testing alternative backup systems. This time tried #Bacula server, running in Docker container in #Unraid server and clients in PCs.
It's very flexible and it took a day to figure out how it works. I got first full backup from a Windows desktop. I like many things like the scheduling system and how the server writes the bulk data into large BLOB files (e.g UrBackup writes zillion files). But there is one showstopper: restoration test fails, giving an SQL error. The Baculum webui has restoration wizard which selects a backup, then I select a file to be restored, but it fails when trying to run it. Hmm...

@Dr_Muesli

No (#Acronis ) Backup either ?
(Wouldn't help with #hardware defects.
How old .. Is this.. Pc :ablobcatknitsweats: ?)

I keep most relevant programs on extHDD, so my #PC is kinda not as important to me.

Then again.
I barely boot the thing.

#GoodLuck
But it seems like you have things under #control

#Acronis seems to be latest company turning greedy. I have used their "Acronis True Image" backup program for a very long time. It has been - and still is a very solid backup program. They had offered permanent licenses and i bought every three to five years their latest version. Last version was 2019 for three PC, about 50€ (IIRC).

Just few days ago they sent email offering 40% discount for new version.

First, it was no longer a perpetual license, but a yearly subscription, making the price 300% .. 500% inflated for me.

Secondly, i see no actual discount. You know, where price is actually *lower* than normal.

Thirdly, i use basic but the offer is the advanced version which has even more unwanted crapware packed in.

Time to abandon Acronis. I'm already using #Syncthing. I had it already as #Dropbox &others replacement. Full-featured backup came as a bonus, but that's another story.

Guess I won't need #acronis anymore

I should #backup my #pc completly ..

But don't feel like searching for a good #Acronis version

ugh

Despite what #Acronis may think, I am pretty sure Kuala Lumpur is not the closest data center they have to me.

#Acronis states that only one customer's account has been compromised. Much ado about nothing

Benutzt jemand #Acronis? Die #Cloud #Abo #Cyber #Security #Alle #Daten zu uns Lösung? Tja meine Damen und Herrn, das sind die Gründe, warum man so einen Schmus nicht macht. Deren Server wurden nun gehackt.

#TechNews@aspiechattr.me #Acronis Free is ending. They don't give a reason why. It isn't going to drive much revenue to them I'd hazard a guess.

@TechNews Have you seen that #Acronis Free is ending. They don't give a reason why. It isn't going to drive much revenue to them I'd hazard a guess.

#Acronis #TrueImage oder #Paragon #BackupRestore CE? Oder....
Mich nervt hart der hohe Ressourcenverbraucht von Acronis unter #Windows. Eure Empfehlungen/Erfahrungen?
