Acronis 2014 is flawed and buggy - but it's still better than 2015 that I returned for a full refund

Thread needs solution

I have 2014 and have had it for years. Here are some things that have never worked:

 

Send e-mail. Test e-mail works, but I never get notifications.

Automatic cleanup HAS NEVER WORKED. So, I delete older chains, and then FOR SOME REASON TI looks for the file, can't find it and the log shows the backup as failing.

I have attached screenshots.

 

Thanks

Geoffrey, if your test email works then other notifications should also work - it is possible that notifications are being put in your Junk or spam folders.

Automatic cleanup does work but it may not be as you understand it to do so - without more details of how you have configured this it is difficult to advise you further.

If you manually delete older backup version chains then Acronis will complain about this because it holds details of those chains in a Database so that it can perform cleanup.  If you delete these outside of the application then you need to perform a validation for the backup task to help reconcile the database again with the current status of the backup archive chains.
