B&R 11, Windows Server - Archive with the same name already exists

Thread needs solution

Hello!

On two Windows Servers 2008 R2 I use Acronis B&R 11 to backup the Machines (Mo-Fr incrementel Backup, every 2nd Sunday full Backup).

Because of another Problem I had on these Machines (I couldn´t disable the Backup-Task) I followed the Advice of Acronis Support an exported and the deleted the Tasks on bothe Machines.

Two Days ago I imported the Tasks again and in the first Night the Backup failed with "Code 16, Module 161, Archive with the same name already exists". The following Night I tried to make a Backup to another (empty! there CAN´T BE an Archive withe the same Name) Target-Location, but got the same error again.

In the new Target-Location it seems that there has been created a Backup-Archive (I can see if I go ther with Windows Explorer), but where comes the error message from?

Or is it only because the last backups would, in normal case, have been an incremental Backup and because in the new Target-Location thre is no underlying full Backup the machine created one and generated the errer because it has not been able to do an incremental Backup?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Again!

Last Night B&R should do an incremental Backup based on the full Backup from the night before.
- B&R did this, on my Target-Location ist now a second File next to the Full-Backup-File which holds the incremental Backup (see Attachement)
- but B&R also reports an Error:

Hello TJ.Hooker74,

thank you for your question.

According to log file, Acronis Backup and Recovery 11 cannot create a differential backup, since the backup with the same name already exists.

The easiest way to solve the problem is to change backup name. It should help to avoid this message in the future.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

Hello!

The wired thing is: B&R _IS_CREATING_ Backups, as you can see it in the Screenshot, the Backup-Files are present!
"Only" the LOG-File tells me that creating a Backup has failed.

I changed the Name of the Target-File (added a 2nd "_" after the Server-Name), but the Error stay´s the same.
A new Backup (full) with the new Name was created but B&R tells me "failed"

Any other Ideas?

Thanks in adavance!

Hello TJ.Hooker74,

thank you for additional information!

Your settings are correct and should not cause any problems.

Could you please update to a latest build 17440 of Acronis Backup and Recovery 11 and check, if the issue persists? 

Preferably disable the existing backup task and create a new one with different from the previous backup file name.

Let me know, if it solves the problem.

Thank you.
