Acronis is RIGHT NOW Validating a File which it says on it's main page has never been made ...Your Kidding Right? Help??

Thread needs solution

I open Acronis and usually run through my back-ups and files to make sure they are in order, in the past I have had Acronis remove back-ups which I know for a fact were there.

I opened Acronis a few minutes ago and notice that one of my Back-up sets now says it has never been performed so I look in location where it was back-up up and there is the back-up files.  I then try to ADD these back-ups to the (Listed Files on Acronis page and Acronis will not show the back-up nor add it.   I then go to the file and right click to open where I can Validate the same back-up file AND   ACRONIS THEN begins Validating the file correctly but fails to acknowledge the file anywhere else.  This is happening right now in front of my face, the back-up files are showing on Windows Explorer and yet Acronis refuses to show them. What is up with this program?

Did you remove, update or replace the F: drive with something else recently that has the same data and is now the F: drive, but is not exactly the same as the F: drive that Acronis was originally conifgured with for that particular backup?  Based on your screenshot, it looks like you've made a backup of something that was recently restored so if this is the same drive, you'll have to recreate the backup set in Acronis again.

Is it a USB drive? One thing that has caused similar behavior in the past for me is if I have an external drive set with a specific drive letter and have Acronis use that as the backup location.  However, at some point, I disconnect that drive and plug in another USB or flash drive and Windows assigns it the next available drive letter, which just so happens to be the letter of the USB drive that was previously plugged in.  This can cause a conflict because the F: drive is not the one Acronis expects... might linger on even if you disconnect that one and plug back in the original drive with that drive letter again.

Has your system had any unexpected or abrupt shutdowns - perhaps while Acronis was running?

It seems like the backup database (perhaps not the backup files themselves though) has somehow been corrupted - you might try removing the backup task first and then trying to add the existing backup .TIB again and see if that helps - Acronis can only have one backup with a specific name, so perhaps removing and re-adding the existing TIB will help.  This would be the case if the backup is indeed the one that was restored on February 6th.

Just a word of advice too... I also see that your backups are a single file of approximately 115GB each.  Large files like these are hard for both Windows and Acronis to process because it has to create a single file, using memory and cache the entire time and any hiccup along the long process of building that large file is going to leave more chance for corruption.  I've always wondered why Acronis default settings do this because I think it's inefficient and more likely to cause corrupted backups, but that is just my opinion (based off of other real world experience).   However, think about what the next biggest file on your computer system is - even a blu-ray backup (except perhaps an .iso) doesn't have a single backup file even close to this size.  It just kind of makes sense.  In the future, you may want to set your backups so that it is broken down into smaller .TIB files of say 5GB or 10GB (or under 4GB if you think they'll ever need to be copied to a FAT32 partition).  I usually cap my backups so that they break the .TIBs and 3GB each - seems to be less resource intensive on the CPU and memory and actually seems to speed the backup process a long a littel bit too. 

 

 

Probably not related, but there is always a chance...

I noticed you're using Malwarebytes AntiMalware on your system from the system tray icons. I do as well.  However, I don't allow it to scan my backup drives for the chance that it ever might want to quarantine or block something in my system images while they are being created which could theoretically cause an issue.  Is your backup location excluded from your malwarebytes scans?

You also seem to have Norton or Symantec running at the same time - same should go for that.

I'm not sure what that other icon with the blue circles is, but since you're actively running (I mean, the applications are actually open and in your taskbar) Malwarebytes and Symantec/Norton, it's feasible, you also have a third one going as well?  Have you had malware recently?

For whatever reasons, your Acronis installation is not functioning correctly.

Your best choice is to to run the TI Cleanup utility (Signture link #4 below), followed by a fresh install and all new backup tasks.

Or a second choice might be the cleanup of your history as per this link by Anna of Acronis Support

This second alternative will also require all new tasks.  There are some "do's & don'ts'.

My recommendation is that each task needs a different name and point to its own storage foldler so each task has its own unique name and its own folder or sub-folder. Get all the task settings finalized before starting backups and then leave the task alone without any further changes.  This link can be of assistance.
