Acronis Backup 11.5 - Backup doesn't work
Hello,
I've got a Backup running at a customer of mine which is causing me some headaches.
The Server is a Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard and this is the error log I get:
Failed to execute the command.

Hello Ekaterina,
- the backup is not managed via a node system. Therefore is the vault centralized unmanaged.
- the backup is saved onto an external HDD. I'm not backing up onto a share.
- As the backup location is just an external HDD. I don't think there are any issues with the user account executing the backup.
Thank you for sharing more details! First of all, I'd still double-check privileges of the accounts specified to run the backup plan and Acronis Managed Machine service
Acronis Managed Machine Service user should be assigned these privileges:
- Included in the Backup Operators and Administrators groups. On a Domain Controller, the user must be included in the group Domain Admins.
- Granted the Full Control permission on the folder %PROGRAMDATA%\Acronis (in Windows XP and Server 2003, %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Acronis) and on its subfolders.
- Granted the Full Control permission on certain registry keys in the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis.
- Assigned these user rights:
- Log on as a service
- Adjust memory quotas for a process
- Replace a process level token
- Modify firmware environment values
Lastly, try to re-create the backup plan and test backup, might be some glitch with the existing plan..
Hello Ekaterina,
Thanks for the reply!
I'm not sure which account you are referring to. Therefore I applied all the mentioned points for the acronis and the admin user.
Furthermore, I analyzed the issue with the backup some more. Acronis shows very slow write speeds of 2-3 MB/s. I also tried a couple of other backup alternatives: Windows-Server-Backup and Disk2vhd. Those alternatives seem to have the same issue. I tested some other HDD's (same issue with different disks) and checked for some driver issues (there aren't any). Maybe there is an issue with the VSS-service or the service for the creation of shadow copies?
I'll check the Backups the next days since I applied all the changes you posted.
