Acronis Disk Director Suite by Acronis provides you with a collection of tools that can help you optimize and manage your disk usage. Unfortunately, a version of Acronis Disk Director Suite for Mac has not been developed yet, so you might want to search for other disk management apps that can perform similar tasks. Acronis Backup is the most advanced backup solution for local and remote Mac users. With enhanced backup validation and blockchain-based authentication of your backups with Acronis Notary, Acronis Backup is the most reliable backup solution for your Macs on the market today. I have been using Acronis True Image for the Mac since 2013 and have found it to be a reliable and trustworthy backup program. Hopefully, this is the correct forum section since I have been unable to find a section dedicated to Acronis True Image for Mac. If you have one PC running one OS (which is usually the case), you need one license of Acronis Disk Director 12.5 Home. If you have a multi-boot machine with more than one OS, you will need one license of Acronis Disk Director 12.5 Home for each of the operating systems where you are going to use the product.
