Acronis Scheduler2 Service Disabling Automatically
**Acronis True Image Home 2010**
I am attempting to backup a NAS to a removable drive and it has failed on three different occasions now. At first I was receiving the "RPC" error so I ensured that the proper services were enabled and it fixed that problem. Now the issue I'm seeing is that the Acronis Scheduler 2 service is being disabled for some reason automatically. I am in a domain environment, however that service does not appear in the Domain Security Policy and therefore is not configured. The NAS that I am attempting to backup is @ 500GB's so I understand that it will take a little time (Acronis estimates 2 days). Because of this, I started the backup Friday before I left and checked on it first thing this morning to find it at 89% complete and still running.
Upon futher investigation, it was not still running. I checked the services to find out if they were still running and the Acronis Scheduler 2 was disabled for some reason. The logs did not show anything helpful and there does not appear to be a reason behind the service disabling itself. Has anyone experienced this issue or know of a reason this may be happening? Is there a workaround or solution to this problem?
Hey guys, I was able to find the culprit - domain policy. Another system admin moved the Windows XP machines to another OU in Active Directory and had the service disabled in those policies. Changing to service to automatic/started in group policy fixed it.
How long should the backup take to accomplish? I'm not looking for exact numbers...just avg time based on amount of data. My NAS has @ 400GB of data and the backup has been running since yesterday morning. When I checked on it this morning it's only 20% complete and showing over 2 days left....is that normal?

I managed to resolve the issue of scheduler2 service disabling and as far as I can tell the Acronis software is working properly...it's just taking an insane amount of time to perform a backup. Our network runs at 1GB and the network statistics suggest it's not being taxed in the slightest bit. I realize there are many different factors involved, but does anyone have an idea of how long a generic backup (normal compression, medium level priority, etc) of @400GB's should take? Certainly not 2.5 days....right?
I have Acronis 2013.
Out of the blue the automatic scheduler didn't work anymore.
I dowloaded acronis.scheduler.467 and it seemed working properly. Now again it doesn't work.
Please see the attached screen.
