Ray, thanks for the further log files - the only ones showing any information of interest were the Schedule2 logs which showed the following events.

How do I sign up to for Acronis beta testing? I beta test Quicken, Quickbooks and nutrition program.

Yesterday I shut down the Surface. This morning after powering up it created a backup. So powering up from sleep will skip making a backup and advance the schedule as if it did. Powering up from shut down will create the backup as it should.
Regarding beta testing, I logged into the beta site, registered and received acceptance confirmation. I compared the 2016 and 2017 manuals in Word and have attached a pdf. Most of the "changes" are changes is page numbers and graphics.
Not much new of importance to me in 2017 other than I can again sort the task list that they removed in 2015. Acronis 2014 still has a far superior user interface in my opinion. I tried to view the beta forum but for some reason access is denied. Unlike other software beta testing Acronis doesn't gives you a free copy of the released version for your work.

Currently, it seems like 2017 beta is primarily bug fixes and some appearance tweaks from 2016 - I don't believe the fastboot issue is fixed yet - waiting for beta 2 to test and see.
Yuu're right, coming out of sleep will not trigger a missed backup - only a full startup triggers the missed backup setting. This is the same limitation as fasboot which works similar to sleep (sleep saves OS state to volatile memory - hibernation saves OS state to the hard disk) as the missed backup is only triggered when a full start has been detected and the previously schduled backup was missed.
Not sure whether or not 2017 beta testers will get a free copy or a dscount or anything - good question for the beta forum. Once you have downloaded and installed the 2017 beta (if you do), I believe you'll get access to the forum then. If not, start a chat with support and they should be able to help get you access to the 2017 forum.

Hello All,
Release version of Acronis True Image 2017 will handle start-ups from hibernation state and sleep/standby in the same way as normal boot-ups and will run missed backups as many users expect.
Regards,
Slava

I've installed the beta 2 of ATI 2017 and verified that it does backup from sleep when I awaken my Surface 3.

That's great news Ray. Did you go back and enable fastboot / fast startup as well to see if it works then too? I don't have hibernation enabled so no fast startup at this time and haven't gotten around to trying it out.

On my Surface 3 I enabled fast startup yesterday, put it to sleep, and this morning when I woke it up Acronis ran the backup. So it works with or without fast start enabled. I'm using ATI 2017 build 3070.
