Hello Dirk Bromberg,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you. 

Can you specify, what exact you want to know or achieve? Can you provide a screenshot if applicable?

If you want to start an already created backup plan manually, you can right click on this plan and start it. See Manual start.

If you need additional assistance, please create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.

I think most users would expect to click on RUN and then have the selected backup plan execute. However, when you click on RUN you are presented with a submenu listing all the tasks that have been defined for the backup plan.

For example: I have a plan that does a full backup, followed by a verify. When I click on RUN, I get:

Simple Validation Task

Full Backup ('Once Later' Scheme)

So now I need to click on one of these.

  • Which one should I click on? If I click on "Simple Validation Task" will Acronis only validate my last backup?
  • If I click on "Full Backup" will I also get a verify?
  • Why is the FIRST task in the backup plan listed LAST in the submenu?

Can someone from Acronis please explain the logic, if any.
