Schedule Back up stopped working

Thread needs solution

I have a scheduled back up set up to back up my C drice. This has been running fine until now when the back up starts but finishes very quickly with a message in a red box saying the backup has errors.

Any ideas on why this has happened?

I have re created the the backup with the exact same parmaters and it ran fine.

I am using TI 2011 most recent build

You can check the log to see what kind of errors it's running into. You can also check the target location and see the you might have too many (or too much space used by) backups. If a target disk fills it can cause a task to stop with errors. Also if you've changed any drive IDs, that can cause the same prob. But check the ATI log first and see what's there.

Short of that, you can try deleting the task from within ATI and then creating a new task. Soemtimes the task file gets corrupted or the registry entry for the task gets wonked and then the task doesn't run correctly.

The target disc has plenty of space at least 1gb of free space.
Can you delete the task without deleting the backups created by the task? If so how? The last time I did this O lost all my backups

Oh, right, the ATI2011 interface -- is it Task, is it a Backup, is it both, is it something else? Let me know when you figure it out. ;)

You can find the backups in their respective harddisk location(s) and in fact, copy them to another disk if you like, just to be safe. The ATI2011 interface can be very confusing but it should give you a choice of retaining the backups if/when you decide to delete a task, However, next time you start up ATI, if the disk with the backups is connected, ATI will find the backup files again and list them on the task page 9or whatever yo want to call the ATI 2011 main page).

Getting ATI2011 to accept old backups under a new task is very difficult. I'd jsut start a new task and after I built up a supply of backups, delete the old ones or move them to long term storage. If the old ones still then show up in the ati2011 task page (or main page), you canright click and delete them from ATI2011's memory.
