Acronis True Image 2017 - processes
I have recently installed Acronis True Image 2017 into my Win 10 pro desktop PC. Got a good deal as an upgrade offer.
I only make backups on this PC as and when I feel the need to, definitely not on a weekly basis. This is not a work PC and I do not want it running backups behind the scenes while I am busy flight-simming for example.
So, I disabled all the Acronis start up entries using CCleaner (licensed version). However I notice that when looking in the Task Manager - Processes, there are still about 6 entries for Acronis in there. So even though I have stopped Acronis from starting with Windows, it still manages to get some processes running. These processes do not seem to be using any CPU cycles but is there another way to keep this program completely dormant until I actually want to use it - which might only be every three months or so on this particular PC.
And yeah, I know there is Macrium Reflect but as I said, got a good deal on Acronis and it is supposed to be a good, easy to use backup option....
