The backup has been created but its data is inconsistent with the source - backup failed
Installed Acronis True Image Version 2021, Build 39287 a week ago. I have it set to do the Incremental scheme, creating a new full backup every 7 days, deleting the old full after that.
So for a week it worked great. I was really pleased. Then today I received this message: "The backup has been created but its data is inconsistent with the source". There's a big red "X" on the screen between the source and target drives. What the heck does that mean? The source drive is literally brand new. A 2TB drive installed 2 weeks ago. The target drive is a standard disc drive, 2TB, which was completely wiped and checked sector by sector prior to the first backup. It should be fine.
The target drive, after the first week, still has 60% of it available. It's not a space issue.
Any ideas what's happening, and how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hello Ian,
Thanks for your input. Unfortunately it's impossible to fix something that's not (or won't stay) broken). I did examine the log files, but saw nothing which helped. Then, the last scheduled backup, a few hours ago, worked fine. So... at least it's working again.
Thanks.

Good to hear that it now appears to be working,
Ian
