Crashing backup to cloud, Failed to lock file

Thread solved

hello

 

I am backing up 1.8 TB to the cloud.
After about 12-14 hours (140 GB) the program crashes. This has happened a few times. I have started new backups, checked AV. even contacted Acronis Support without much help.

The online Dashboard and Acronis software on the PC report "failed to lock file" and the backup stops.
I restart the backup and the data seems to be backing up again, however the online dashboard still reports "Failed to lock file" with the timestamp of the error online changing every minute.

1. anyone have insight into the issue?
2. how can I be verify the backup is consistent and correct going forward? 
I can see this happening regularly.

thanks for any thoughts you migth have.
Adrian

Adrian, log files are needed to try to understand what this error actually means?

You need to be using the new log viewer tool per the link below. 
MVP Assistant - a new tool, including new Log Viewer (Latest version 1.1.4.0, 9/27/2021)

If you have Disks & Partitions backups created on ATI 2020 or later using .tibx files, then look in the Backup Worker logs.

If you have Files & Folders backups using .tib files (or Disk backups from earlier versions using .tib files) or using Cloning then look in the Demon logs.

Other logs are shown by the MVP Assistant under the 'Active Logs' heading of the Log Viewer page of the Assistant.

The log files should be zipped to preserve their original file names if sharing in the forums and would need to be less than 3MB in size, otherwise you would need to share the zip file via a Cloud share service such as OneDrive, Dropbox etc.

hi Steve,

 

thanks for the reply. I will analyse the logs with that application.

I suggest Acronis should hire you...

Looks like the system is having unexpected reboots since I installed Acronis and started backing up large amounts of data to the cloud. Local backup to a NAS seems fine. Perhaps memory issues that build up. Event Viewer is little help.

thanks again for the assistance

Thanks, Steve.
My reply has not gone through.

I will l ok at the logs.
I suggest that Acronsi hire you. your answers have been more helpful than their support team's
