Acronis True Image protects your backups with an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cryptographic algorithm using a 256-bit encryption key. 6. After you have configured all settings and you are ready to start a backup, click Start Backup. The first online backup may take a considerable amount of time to complete. Future backup processes will likely be much faster, because only changes to files will be transferred. To recover your Mac from a True Image backup, you must have an Acronis bootable media.
2.6 What is Acronis Cloud? Remote storage On the one hand, Acronis Cloud is a secure remote storage which you can use to store your backups. Because files are stored in remote storage, you can recover the entire contents of your Mac if a disaster or data corruption event occurs. If you use True Image for Windows, you can also store file backups, disk images, and versions of your synchronized files in Acronis Cloud. To start using Acronis Cloud: Create Acronis account (p. 10), if you do not have one.
3 Creating bootable rescue media Bootable rescue media is a removable drive containing boot files. When your Mac does not start, you use the drive to boot the Acronis recovery environment and recover your Mac from a previously created backup. If you do not have a backup yet, please create it. Refer to “Backing up to local or network storage” (p. 7) and “Backing up to Acronis Cloud” (p. 8) for details. Using bootable media is the only way to recover your Mac from a True Image backup.
