Bug: Acronis activity logs not updating after TI 2021 build 39184

Thread solved

Here to report a bug. After the update on my two machines to build 39184, my activity logs do not add new entries. The backups complete and are listed for recovery but the last entry in the activity log is from 3-11. Anyone else experiencing this?

I am not however, I suggest running a repair on your installation to resolve the problem.

Hello Andrew,

does the issue reproduce after repairing the installation? 

With the help from Acronis Support I have solved the issue, see the above thread for details if you are still stuck @Andrew

thanks, Alan by following your suggestion I was able to get it fixed a little while ago but I thought I would document it here for anyone else who comes across it.

Specifically:

Just an update for everyone interested - one of my existing backups did get a log, so I went back over old ground.  I think I neglected to mention that one thing suggested was to "edit" the backup - change the source files (e.g. just add another folder and then remove it again in my case as it was a "files and folders" type backup.  Doing this again after re-installing to my other existing backups and they are now logging properly again.

Hope this helps others.  I've updated my ticket.

Cheers,
Alan

All I did was edit each backup on each PC. For some reason, my settings to keep 30 backups instead of the default 20 in the cloud and not to delete backups older than six months, to undo that checkbox, had been removed. So after restoring those settings and saving the settings as suggested, the backups started logging again.

I did have one extra complication though. One PC had two cloud backups, one a disk backup for an external drive and one a full computer backup. After editing the backups they began logging again but for some reason, the full computer backup was logging into the disk backup and when I tried to clean it or look at the backup in the cloud, it looked like it was actually backing up into the disk backup's archive in the cloud. It was taking huge gigs of my cloud storage like it was starting from scratch instead of doing the normal small incremental backup and alternating between the two backups it seemed like the archive was getting super confused. I just ended up stopping the full computer backup so the disk backup was working fine to the cloud and after so much time of trying to figure it out, I just deleted the cloud backup for the computer as it was old enough it wasn't relevant anymore and just started a new one. Then everything was working fine. They were backing up into their appropriate archives and they were logging. That was a little while ago but I thought I would put that here and close this ticket for reference purposes.
