Thanks yourself @JB007 , because this made me curious if Acronis had possible released any updated version.

I haven't tested it fully yet, for example the ransomware ( rw ) protection etc, so I can't say how well or not that specific works. It does at least not seem to have any problem now initially, with for example F-Secure, but it might be a bit redundant using them both for rw protection.

The only thing right now I'm a little confused about, is what exactly I miss out on from the paid version vs this one? :unsure: @BagaudinAcronis , something you can easy help me and all others with?
