As you can see from the code that Bitdefender has blocked, Acronis tries to add one of its file into Microsoft Defender's exclusion list. Any legit software shouldn't do it. This is a tactic used by many malware to bypass Microsoft Defender. So it makes it kind of obvious for Bitdefender's behavior blocker to get triggered by it.
