Acronis Backup 12.5 Problem with a backup-plan, 5 machines, only one is doing backup
I have a backup-plan generated with 5 PC's.
I am doing a "Foldersave", that means, i only safe some folders from 5 PC's
and because the folder have the same name of all 5 machines, i made one PLAN
for this 5 PC'S.
BUT, if i start the plan, only one PC's files are backuped...!
As example: One Plan, with PC1, PC2, PC3,PC4 and PC5
Foldername of PC1 to backup: "C:\Productionfiles"
Foldername of PC2 to backup: "C:\Productionfiles"
Foldername of PC3 to backup: "C:\Productionfiles"
Foldername of PC4 to backup: "C:\Productionfiles"
Foldername of PC5 to backup: "C:\Productionfiles"
Set up all necessary settings and safe the plan.
NOW, start the Plan...
Result: Only the file of PC5 was backuped.
Nice Bug? Or is it a feature ;-)

Hello Dietmar!
I did some tests (build 16363):
- Test1
- Setup:
- Add machines when creating the backup plan
- Add folder to backup per machine
- Run the plan
- Result:
- Only the last machine is backed up
- On the device\backup tab for the missing machine it shows the plan isn't applied
- Setup:
- Test2
- Setup:
- Add machines when creating the backup plan
- Add folder to backup as a policy rule
- Run the plan
- Result:
- Only the last machine is backed up
- On the device\backup tab for the missing machine it shows the plan isn't applied
- Setup:
- Test3
- Setup:
- Add folder to backup as a policy rule
- Apply the plan in the devices tab to multiple machines
- Run the plan
- Result:
- Backup on all machines as expected
- Setup:
- Test4
- Setup:
- Create file backup plan without specifying machines or items to backup (only where to backup which is required)
- Apply the plan in the devices tab to multiple machines, specify the folder to backup on that machine
- Run the plan
- Result:
- For the second machine On the device\backup tab it shows the plan isn't applied
- Though it shows in the plan details, meanwhile the number of machines it's applied to shows as if it isn't.
- Setup:
- Test5:
- Setup:
- Create file backup plan without specifying machines or items to backup (only where to backup which is required)
- Apply the plan in the devices tab to multiple machines, specify the folder to backup on that machine
- Set different paths for the machines
- Run the plan
- Result:
- Backup on all machines as expected
- Setup:
In summary, it seems the problems seems to be one or both of
- Setting the same path to backup on multiple machines (and not using a policy rule for this)
- Setting multiple machines while creating the plan instead of applying the created plan later
