Hello Dick Wan,

According to internal notes retention rules fail randomly if customer browsed backups in the same time when agent try to delete recovery point that is subject to deletion.

In such case retention rules will be applied after next backup if this collision will not occur again.

If problem is persistent, then please submit ticket to Acronis Service Provider Support team (mspsupport@acronis.com).

Best Regards,

Eugene.

Is this also true with local install, non Cloud. I had about 6 Clients receive this message yesterday. Does this mean that I browsed in the Backup software during backup time?

My errors were;

Activity 'Applying retention rules' failed. The activity has failed due to a restart of the service

I also receive the same error for one VM backup since 2 weeks.

Same error as Daryl Armstrong:

Activity 'Applying retention rules' failed. The activity has failed due to a restart of the service.

Gwenaël, thank you for your posting! I see, that you already have an open support ticket for the issue and would recommend to continue investigation with the help of the support engineers. Without analysis of the logfiles it's hard to understand what could have caused the service to restart/crash. We'd be also grateful if you share the outcome here, so that other users can find this information. Thank you!

I have the same problem. Activity 'Applying retention rules' failed. The activity has failed due to a restart of the service.”

This happened while backing up to a NAS.
