Failed to prepare data stream

Thread needs solution

Hi,
I am using Acronis True Image Home 2011 latest build
I keep receiving the below error on scheduled tasks, sometimes the backup runs fine and others the result is as below. However the destination is accessible.
I have configured it on various machines and only happen on 1 or 2.

I have re-created the backup, selected various locations, attempted HDD and Secure zone. As Acronis instruct I turned off the consolidation and still nothing.

I have been unable to find any further information anywhere else.

1 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:01 PM Operation My partitions backup started.
2 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:02 PM Analyzing partition '0-0'...
3 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:02 PM Analyzing partition '1-1'...
4 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:02 PM Analyzing partition 'C:'...
5 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:03 PM Analyzing partition '1-3'...
6 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:03 PM Analyzing partition 'F:'...
7 Error 11/2/2011 11:00:04 PM Failed to prepare data stream. Check whether the source and target partitions exist.
10 Error 11/2/2011 11:00:04 PM Operation has completed with errors.

Look forward to reading your comments.

Is the backup from or to a network location? Sometimes networks can fail to respond/allow access.

I am having the same problem, this never used to happen this the same hardware

I have the same issue. I am backing up to a network share using UNC path format and I can open the share without a problem using Windows Explorer (\\server1\MyBackups). If I use the IP address instead of the hostname in the UNC path (\\192.168.1.1\MyBackups), it will work. The backup wprked for months before I started getting this error. I have Windows 7 64 bit O/S.
