online storage interruptions
Hi,
I've opened a case to investigate my "backup to online cloud" issues. While I'm still waiting to resolutions, I have some questions:
1. What is the Acronis' maintenance policy for the cloud service? I mean, if Acronis need to do system maintenance for their online cloud service, will it be scheduled at certain date/time? OR, it will be any time? I would like to know the time window so that I can avoid to have any backup scheduled.
2. Is there any routine maintenance for Acronis Cloud service? what is the time window?
3. What will happen to vmprotect or what I should expect in case of the cloud service is down while a backup is running?
Thanks,
Aldous

Hi Vasily,
Thanks for the info.
1. and 2. during the maintenance, should I expect the backup failing (after retrying)?
3. If the backup failed in the middle, the backup may be partially written to the cloud. Will this cause corruption to the backup file? I've been having repeated issues. Once every few weeks, all the scheduled backup to the cloud failed. Next day when I restart the backup, some of them will failed to backup with error "Write error". (this is actually, the case I opened and currently being investigated by your support team). And, I was unable to remove any recovery point as well (also, write error). This is very very painful.
Thanks again,
Aldous

In reply to Hi Vasily, Thanks for the by truwrikodrorow…

Hi Aldous,
1,2. In case the backup task reaches the re-tries limit during the maintenance period it will fail. Otherwise (if it lasts for more time than the maintenance) it should continue writing data into the archive and finish.
3. The backup failure in the middle just means that the data which had been written into the archive during this task execution life-time is not valid and will not be considered upon next backup attempt, which should not fail of course. Also thanks for the additional info, I've passed it to our support and dev. teams (your case as far as I can see is now being investigated by our developers).
Thank you.
