Backup consolidation failed

Thread needs solution

Trying out TI 2018

Backup starts, says it's successful then get message "Backup consolidation failed"

It then creates another backup with the same message and continues in the loop until my backup disk is full.

Gerry, backup consolidation is the way that Acronis describes the 'automatic cleanup' actions that you can configure in your backup task.

Please download the MVP Log Viewer Tool from the Community Tools link in my signature and use this to see what other messages are being written to the backup log for this issue?

I would recommend opening the main ATI GUI, selecting your backup task, then clicking on Options and opening the Advanced page and scrolling down to where it shows Error Handling options.  Change the error handling settings to prevent the repetitive backups.  Personally I always disable any error handling options and let a task fail rather than let it run away in the way you describe.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply.

Have changed the Error handling option.

Still had "Backup consolidation" errors.

Installed TI 2018 on one of my laptops are worked perfectly.

Uninstaled it on my desktop PC and did a clean install.

Seems to be working OK now, perhaps a coincidence, who knows?

Also installed it on my other laptop and works OK.

Took advantage of the special Black Friday upgrade deal and now have it up and running OK on three machines,.

Cheers

Gerry, thanks for the update / feedback, glad you have it working OK and got a good deal too!
