Full backup after incremental backups not working.
Hello,
I have setup Acronis backup to perform a full backup after 6 incremental backups and all that every happens is incremental backups. No full backup is every performed ever. I have the backup type set to incremental, and then the option below selected to create a full backup after. Perhaps I need to have full backup selected in the option instead? Any solutions?
Thanks.

Let me shed some light on the issue.
First of all, please note that even you set Acronis to create incremental backups, the first archive that will be created will be full. And after that Acronis will create incremental archives.
Back to the issue itself: most likely it was caused by the malfunction of Acronis Scheduler module that is responsible for all tasks. So to fix the issue I may recommend you to update this module:
- Download the latest build of Acronis Scheduler;
- Run the downloaded file. It will automatically update the service;
- Reboot the machine;
- Recreate the scheduled tasks.
Please reply to this thread if the issue still persists after the update.
Thank you.
So having it set to do incremental backups and also selecting the full backup after 6 incremental backup option is supposed to work? I shouldn't need to set the backup type to FULL to have the "do full backup after x incremental backups" to work?

Hello Justin,
You are absolutely correct.
There's no need to set your first backup to full since even you set Acronis to perform incremental backups, the very first archive will be created as full.
The function 'Create a ful backup after X incrementals' should also work, as I've already mentioned there are some issues with Acronis Scheduler, so the update should definitely work for you.
Please reply to the thread if you have any additional questions.
Thank you.
