True Image 2013 Online Backup always stuck at 98%

Thread needs solution

Anyone else finding the Acronis True Image Online Backup gets stuck at a certain percentage and won't budge. Mine is stuck at 98% and seems to stay there. Monitoring network traffic shows (using the windows performance monitor) shows no traffic from Acronis processes. Internet works nice and fast though. Been like that for approx a week. Pity as it seemed to be working ok before.

I have experienced similar problems.

I concluded that in my case it was due to my very slow broadband speed resulting in a disconnection even though online backup appears to still be connected to the Acronis cloud. My upstream speed never exceeds 256Kb and can be as low as 56Kb.

The solution I found was to backup my data in small chunks, i.e. a directory at a time. As Online backup is incremental this seems to work. It has taken me over a week but I am getting there. Once I have all of my data backed up, adding new files shouldn’t be so much of an issue. I have also had to accept that due to my broadband speed, I cannot use online backup for large files that change frequently. So for example, my Outlook file does not get backed up to the cloud.

I should add that I take a belt and braces approach to backing up. I also run Continuous Backup and a weekly scheduled Email Backup and a File Backup. Four backup schemes in total.

Hi there, I have exactly the same problem: True Image 2013 was working super fine for couple months, and starting January 2013 Acronis True Image Online Backup gets stuck at a 98% and won't budge until almost 24 hours. This is very ennoying

Hi Hugo, I just had something similar: I was recovering an incremental file backup with 33000ish files through 15 versions. Recovery seemed to be stuck at 98% for an hour, so I started checking the recovered files. At first, all had an ~ at the end of the file extensions. With seemingly no disk or cpu activity, I was getting worried (earlier attempts to consolidate the versions had all failed miserably). About a half an hour later I checked again, and by that time some files were correctly named. In another half hour the process finished successfully. It seems that renaming tens of thousands of files takes a lot of time and looks like no activity. Hope this gives some cue to you.
