"The Last Backup has failed"
After upgrading to Windows 10 Acronis 2016 won't back up when requested. Get the following: "The last backup as failed. The back up location was not found on the destination drive." What can be done? Thanks fo all help. Ran System Report and got a report that's attached.

Steve,
Thanks so much for your well specified input. Unfortunately, the file "D:\Entire PC (TEKASSOC).tib' is not on the D: drive. There are many other files that start with "D:\Entire PC (TEKASSOC)_X_X_X.tib" files. Should I uninstall and start all over again?

Marc,
After the upgrade, the destination drive may no longer the same because you have a brand new OS (even though it was an upgrade), plus, you are using what looks like to be an "entire pc" backup and the drives may be reported differently after the upgrade. Or, the attached drive is no longer D: and is now some other letter like E: or F:. Or, you're now using a different drive for the backups than what was originally used when the backup was created. I can't really tell which one is the culprit from the error messages - it just says that the destination drive is not found and that's why it's failing.
You should be able to edit the existing task and navigate to the destination of choice and just pick up where you left off after that.
Personally though, I would create a new backup task to avoid any carry over issues after the upgrade. Instead of using the default "entire pc", hover over it and change to "disks and paritions". Then specifically select only the disk(s) you want to backup and ensure all paritions are selected (they are if you select the entire disk box). Name the backup to something else (just make it unique so it's different than the existing backups) and put the backup files in their own folder (to keep things clean). Then run the backup and all should be well. You can keep the old backup files for posterity and/or delete them to free up space once you're satisifed the new backup task is working corretly
This is what your logs are reporting as of 7/27...

task_name=Entire PC (TEKASSOC)
The backup location was not found on the destination drive. Make sure the correct storage device is connected to the computer

Thanks Bobbo_3C0X1. Sounds like good advice. I'll give it a try.

I was having the 'last backup has failed' problem and did a full uninstall and reinstall and the problem has gone away.
