Problems with Cloud Backup – Stuck in “Calculating time remaining…”

Thread needs solution

Hi,

 

I’m using Acronis True image 2019 on two of my PCs (Windows 10 pro 64bit). On both machines I have backup schedules of the whole system disk to an external hard disk as well as to the acronis cloud.

The automatic system backups to external storage work very reliable without any problems so far.

BUT (encrypted) system backup to the acronis cloude only works very unreliable… Sometimes it works flawlessly but frequently it get stuck directly in the beginning, when it says “Connecting to Acronis Cloud…” - “Calculating time remaining…”. When the backup Is stuck in this stage it is also not possible to pause/stop it manually (It then just get stuck in the “Processing…”.

The only thing which temporarily helped so far at this stage is restating the computer and use the “Acronis Scheduler Manager” and delete the running task…

Noteworthy, I have this exact same problem on both, my Computer at home and my Laptop at a different place… On both machines I checked the connection to the Acronis cloud by “AcronisCloudCheck” and it seems to bin ok…

Xlmk, welcome to these public User Forums.

I can only recommend that you open a Support Case directly with Acronis Support for this connection issue as it seems to be one that is very difficult to pin down.

If you do open a Support Case, then please refer Acronis to cases 03473454 and 03463079 where I previously have reported the same issue recently but where the cases have been closed because the issue 'went away' without any conclusion being reached!

In terms of actions that you can try for this issue, Acronis will suggest that you delete the C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\OnlineBackup folder but do so only when the Cloud backup task is not active.  The folder will be recreated automatically.
