Yes, Acronis Cyber Protect now incorporates anti-malware and anti-virus solution for full-stack protection against malware, plus AI-based ransomware and cryptomining defenses
If your machine is already protected with a third-party antivirus solution at the moment of applying the Antivirus and Antimalware protection module to the machine, the system will generate an alert and will stop the on-access protection in order to prevent potential compatibility and performance issues. You will need to either disable or uninstall the third-party antivirus solution, in order to enable fully functional Acronis Cyber Protect Antivirus and Antimalware protection.
Acronis Cyber Protect 15 continues to use a new .tibx backup format (introduced in Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5), in which each backup chain (a full or differential backup, and all incremental backups that depend on it) is saved to a single .tibx file. This format leverages the speed of the incremental backup method, while avoiding its main disadvantage–difficult deletion of outdated backups. The software marks the blocks used by outdated backups as "free" and writes new backups to these blocks. This results in extremely fast cleanup, with minimal resource consumption.
New format (Version 12) is automatically used for all new protection plans. For protection plans that use legacy Version 11 format, you can choose what backup format to use with Backup format option.
