Multiple Backups Being Done

Thread needs solution

I have scheduled a full backup done weekly. In my disk backup options, it shows only 1 weekly backup scheduled.

When I go into Explorer to test check my latest backup, I find I have 3 full backups that show, each completed after the prior one is finished - all are full backups and appear to be almost the same size.

I do not understand why multiple backups are being done when only one is scheduled and how to stop 3 from being completed.

I am using Acronis True Image 2019 on a PC running Windows 10.

I also periodically do a manually-started full backup to a different portable hard drive whenever I complete various financial tasks so I do not lose newly entered information on my PC. After the manual backup is complete, I go back into options and again schedule a weekly full backup to my main external hard drive.

Randy, welcome to these public User Forums.

Difficult to say why you are seeing multiple backups just based on the information provided?

Please download the MVP Log Viewer tool (link in my signature below) and use this to review the log file for your backup operation. This should provide more information on what is happening here, i.e. if an error is happening which then is triggering a further backup to be performed?
