How active ransomware protection works

• Active ransomware protection monitors running processes of backed up devices (with agent)
• Protects Acronis Backup processes - prevents backups from being taken out of service

• Prevents Master Boot Record (MBR) overwriting
• Blocks the spread of ransomware and file encryption
• Returns encrypted files to their original form - automatically or manually (depending on your settings)
