Also, it should be smart enough to get rid of any partial backups or incremental backups and replace them by running a new backup.

I appreciate this very much because it will keep me from losing data. I don't know how Acronis could miss the fact that by keeping Windows from running, they are keeping real time tasks from running that can't be made up later (such as recording TV or relying on access to a current data set) and the whole point of backing up is supposed to be to accomplish the opposite. #ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 2017 DELAYING SHUTDOWN TV#

It's also a major risk without this because it can literally corrupt a disk otherwise. I don't know how many times Windows automatically ran a check disk upon reboot after a hard reset necessary to get around this problem. The other thing that Acronis seems to be missing is why people reboot. It might be because they installed new software or patches, but it might be because things are not working. #ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 2017 DELAYING SHUTDOWN SOFTWARE# It's the latter that most frequently leads me to reboot. For example, if a video won't play, and Media Center tells me to try restarting Media Center or restarting Windows, I will try to reboot. Then 100% of the time, I will see the "operations are in progress" message. So it means that it was Acronis that was keeping my computer from working normally in the first place. So the bottom line is that Acronis is what's breaking my system in the first place, Acronis is keeping my computer from restarting, Acronis is making me lose access to my computer and causing me to lose irreplaceable data while my computer is down, and is causing me to risk disk corruption (ironically causing me to need to recover from a backup to assure my disk is clean) if I try to get around it without this fix. If Acronis even offers this as a fix, then they could fix the problem up front and not do things that way.
