Scheduling problems

Thread needs solution

I have ATIH2012 installed on three computers, all using Win7. Two of them do a complete backup every night, deleting the previous version. During the following day the latest full backup is copied across to NAS.

A couple of days ago I realised that I had two instances of the scheduled backup running (two on each machine) and each successful completion was followed by the deletion of the (then) latest available backup.

After checking the knowledge base I downloaded Acronis Schedule Manager and zapped all the tasks (on each machine), then set up a single complete backup to run overnight on each machine.

This morning I find that each machine has run THREE backups and deleted the three (then) latest backups!!

This is crazy - what's wrong!

Hi Graham,

Thank you for your post. I will do my best to help you.

Could you collect this report from the two machines so that I can study the program logs and understand why this issue occurs.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

Thank you. This morning's news is much better - one new backup created on each machine, and one deleted on each, so it seems to have "come right". I don't understand it, because I have done nothing to the configuration of Acronis on either machine since identifying the problem of which I wrote. However, I think I'll keep a close eye on them over the weekend. I'll write again with the report you requested if I have further problems.

Cheers

Graham
