How to delete bootup clone task?
Hello,
I setup a clone of drive C boot drive to clone it over to another drive.
After a process or 2 Acronis says I must reboot to continue (I've done this before so no surprise there).
Upon reboot it attempts to start copying my C drive to the new drive but I get a "Can't find boot partition" error. I can hit a key to boot my OS normally.
I subsequently used the make image and make recovery CD method to finish my cloning so that's not my question here.
My problem is this task will not die on bootup! Every boot now tries to do this clone task. I looked through startup in MSCONFIG and disabled all Acronis named items. I stopped the scheduler service.
Still it comes every boot. I also do NOT want it to do this task as my drives all redone since I intiated it and it will destroy a good drive's data if it ever is successful in proceeding!
I cannot see it "scheduled within the Windows Acronis interface either.
Help!?

Check this setting inside the scheduler and uncheck the option related to missed backup.
This is one place to start

Hi Grover,
I forgot to mention I have the WD version of Acronis.
I see no Scheduler in it that resembles what you posted.
There's a task+Log screen but nothing shows as scheduled.

The picture I attached above would only appear within a scheduled task.
I do not know what features the WD version has so cannot help.
The backup tasks are stored inside a foler labelled "scripts",
If TI uses a database it will be found inside a foldere labelled "database" and the file will be labelled "archives.xml".
The archives.xml file can be renamed old-archives.xml and it will rebuild itself.
The actual scripts can be moved to another folder if you wish to see if removing the scripts solves your issues.
Perhaps someone else familiar with the WD version can help further.
