Unscheduled backup running.

Thread needs solution

Hello Acronis forum,

I hopeing someone can help with this odd problem.

I have 12.5.14330 Advanced Server running on Server 2012 R2 Standard. 

I noticed a while ago that i was getting 2 backups created for this machine.

I deleted the only scheduled backup in the Management console, but the other backup continues to run.

The second backup was a plan that i deleted some time ago.

I cannot find where to delete that "unscheduled" backup.

 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hello Dave!

I remember having similar issues around this build. However I stopped having it since I have updated to current versions. See if you still have this problem on a newer version.

I'd also try looking around with the scheduler manager on the machine where the "deleted" backup is still running.

Thank you Péter,

I upgraded to the latest version shortly after posting and the backup still ran.

Attached is the Schedmgr Get List results. 

How do i know which task i should kill and which should stay running?

P.S. This machine is also the Mangement console.

 

Dave

Hello Dave,

I'd clean up all the tasks and then create a new backup plan. If re-creating the plan is not an option, try getting the list of the relevant tasks for your backup plan via List tasks command https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisCyberBackup_… Then remove those not belonging to the valid backup plan.

 As posted earlier, there is a screenshot of the Schedmgr Get List results.

I just don't know wich one is for that task.

 

Thanks

Hello Dave!

What Ekaterina is sugesting is to use the command line acronis tool (acrocmd) not the scheduler manager. It has a similar comand (acrocmd list tasks). The parameters it expects can be found in the linked documentation.
