Backup planning / scheme does not work as desired

Thread needs solution

Acronis Image 2020, Build 25700, OS: WIN 10 Pro, 1909

My backup planning looks like this: Every last Friday every month - See "Backup-planning.jpg"
My backup scheme: Differential / after 11 differential versions a full version. - "See backup scheme. Jpg"

However, several differential versions are created on the target date (last Friday of the month). - See "Backups.jpg"

What am I doing or Acronis wrong?

Best regard
Walter

Walter, sorry for not replying to your topic sooner!

Has your backup schedule been changed recently or has it always been scheduled at the same frequency and time?

I would suggest changing the task to be Unscheduled then see if there is any further backup activity occurring?  This may seem a strange request, but I want to check whether there are any phantom schedule entries involved to cause the task to be repeated multiple times during the day?

If you do still see the task running after setting it to unscheduled, then please download the Acronis Scheduler Manager tool (link in my signature).  This is a standalone program with no need to install.

Run the schedmgr.exe from an Administrator Command prompt, then in the black command window, type the command task zap which will remove the schedules for all Acronis tasks on your systems.

Note: this does not remove any backup tasks but will set all to be unscheduled, so you will need to set the schedules again after using this command.

Dear Steve Smith
Thanks for now, I'll try that.

Another question: I do not get a notification e-mail, even though I checked it.
