Hi,
my Acronis B&R backup plan has Diff backup during workdays and Full at the weekend. After Full I want to verify it and then Shutdown computer. I have a shutdown batch file and it is run as post-backup command.
The problem is that this command runs after backup is finished and before verify starts, so no verify takes place because computer shuts down.
This is serious flaw because Acronis B&R should know that backup task as a whole is not finished yet and it shoud run post-backup command after verify is finished.
How to solve this?

Hello TJ,

at the moment there is no such function in the product. I'll put your suggestion into our Customer Listening System and it will be surely considered by development.

However, as a workaround you can use Acronis command line utility.

Thank you.

I agree with you that this is a serious flaw. I wish Acronis would fix this. However, until they do, I came up with my own solution.

I run backups in the middle of the night, auto starting the computers from BIOS before the Acronis Task starts. I then have a series of CMD scripts and one unix/linux like "sleep.exe". The main script looks for Acronis' "Service_Process.exe" and waits until it terminates. Then it will shut the system down.

All my systems are Windows 7 Pro, so I'm not sure how it works for Windows 8/8.1.

When I go into the office in a couple of days I'll try and remember to grab them and then I'll provide those scripts for anyone interested.

Regards.
Bruce

OK... Here it is...

The attached zip file contains the 3 scripts (.bat) needed, a "SCREENSHOTS.rtf" file describing the Scheduled Task to start the main script (.bat), and a _README.rtf file that describes the detailed steps necessary for setting up your system.  There is some editing required to fit it for your system.

So a brief description (partial extract from _README.rtf):

My Setup
I configure my BIOS to boot the system (in this example) 2:00 AM.

I create a Windows Scheduled Task to start at 2:05 AM, giving the system 5 minutes to boot.
The Scheduled Task is basically (change for your system):
    c:\users\bhata\Documents\scripts\ShutdownAfterBackup.bat   30
and has it start in the directory
    c:\users\bhata\Documents\scripts
so that other scripts called from ShutdownAfterBackup can be found.
(check the *SCREENSHOTS.rtf file for details)

The Acronis Task is configured to start at 2:05 AM

Description - ShutdownAfterBackup.bat
This script will....

  • Assume that Acronis program (service_process.exe) has not started
  • There is a 30 minutes timeout for it to start (the time can be changed with an argument)
  •       The 30 minute timeout is in case Acronis was not configured to run on this date.
  • If Acronis started then
  •       Wait until the backup completes
  • If  user not logged in (don't want to shut down in case user is in middle of something)
  •       Shut system down in 30 seconds

Hopefully I haven't missed anything...

Hello BruceH.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I also hope that Acronis will listen to this thread and implement this function.
