One of the most important decisions in relation to the maintenance of our data is the workflow with backups. There is no perfect system or one that easily replaces the rest. Apple puts us in our hands time Machine. With this application, photographs of the system are taken with an established periodicity, but it is slow, and sometimes it is misconfigured.
Today we know an alternative, Acronis True Image 2020. If we have the contracted service, the applications will replicate the backup of our Mac, with a copy in the cloud. In this way, even if one system fails, we can always count on the copy made on the other system.
But Acronis True Image 2020 is more than that. Is robust and customizable. If Time Machine stands out for its simplicity, it has more options. We can select the networks that will be used for replicate backups. Customize the copies, to choose the elements. The maximum copy size. Acronis has the expertise as world leader in computer protection, therefore, you invest significantly in the information we have on the company's servers. This allows them to be the first company to make copies in the cloud, exactly replicating the content of the copy.
That is why the application is clearly prepared for ramsomware attacks in real time. To do this, the system looks for behaviors that indicate attacks, including strains of ransomware, that have not been seen to date. Last year they reached 400.000 attacks, including some specifically for macOS.
From this moment, three types of versions can be purchased: Standard, Advanced and Premium. The Advanced and Premium levels have the function of replicating the backup in the cloud with end-to-end encryption. The difference between the two is the capacity of the cloud. The option Advanced, is priced at $ 50 / year and makes available to us 250GB. And the function Premium has a price of € 100 / year offering 1 TB storage. The version Standard does not offer cloud copies and is purchased as a one-time purchase at the price of $ 50.
