Backup Failures

Thread needs solution

I've had backup failures ,and they have come and gone, now I'm getting them again and i'm also getting validation task errors.

It's stating failed to find the backup.
I'm hoping for some helpful pointers that I can use to get this working again, and get ride of the warnings.

Sorry may be a long process. What info should i provide first ?

Attached is a screen shot of the last part of the current error message for the validation task.

Hi Allan,

are there any retention rules specified in the backup plan?

If archive cleanup in an unmanaged/personal vault fails with "Failed to find the backup":

  1.   Look in the error message, is should indicate the missing backup.
  2.   If you check the vault (e.g. by browsing it in Windows explorer), you'll see this backup is not present. This means the backup was deleted manually from the storage, but metadata was not updated.
  3.   Open Acronis management console and navigate to the vault.
  4.   Click on the Refresh button. This should update the metadata of the archive and solve the problem.

More information you can find in this article.

Information about the backup to swapped drives you will find in this article.

If the problem persists, please describe:
Which type of a vault do you use? Where is it placed physically?
