Nonstop – not enough space, access denied
Hi over a while!
Windows 10 (19044), Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (build 40107, latest to the moment). Well, as this nonstop-option appear (idea good) I have problems with it (already in days of True Image naming). It does stop (in error) during a regular (longer backup), it happens … after every few days, even over a day (regular backups taking place every night). Also, I have USB disk for it (for nonstop backup), dedicated, as can’t limit space for nonstop to use, it might take all space (strange Acronis haven’t thinking about to limit space it can take, over a years!). Before this latest build when USB disk was fulfilled, I just deleted data-files and start nonstop over, not very convenient … ok, but … now I see all these files is “taken by Acronis” and access is denied, so … I can’t delete these, nonstop, obviously, in error (not enough space). I don’t want to restart my computer every time because of this kind of problem nor delete nonstop-backup (not sure it does free files, though) because of settings in there. Stopping nonstop-service didn’t help either.
Any ideas how to proceed in this situation, if ever there is a solution?
Also, can anyone tell, have Acronis plans to add some options to nonstop-backup to check (~ bring to heel) it.
More thanks, Alar.

Hi and thank You for support!
(1) Nope, switching Active Protection (via Acronis UI) off does not free these files.
(2) Strangely nonstop goes into error usually after midnight, but regular backup is started at 22 (10 PM). “The parameter is incorrect.”, link for solution does not help.
(3) Haven’t check logs, truth.
(4) Yes, for nonstop I have selected just some files/folders.
(5) Windows File History, good pointing, though – haven’t tried it as … Acronis, I hope, keep me safe. Also, this Files History … it is not so straightforward as other backup solution, seems to me, I could be wrong.
For releasing files … I don’t see other option as uninstall Acronis (in full) or trying to disable services at start (I could stop all services on the go beside the Active Protection, I mean via Windows Services).
A bit out of this topic. Also, what I saw with ATI and now, after some … days/weeks working Windows getting very slow. After I uninstalled Acronis soft (ATI in these days) … computer did work out weeks well. No-no, I really appreciate Acronis (and even this slowness problem could be hidden elsewhere), but … they can do better. True, all we can. =)
More thanks, Alar.

Did a search for the term "The parameter is incorrect" in the Knowledge Base and one possible problem can be with pre- and -post commands. However, as far as I am aware non-stop backup does not use them; however they could be used when trying to restart non-stop backup after is has paused itself.
On the problem of deleting the old files, have you tried reconfiguring the installation so that there is a minimal install. I assume that when installing ACPHO when running the installer, you did so as Administrator; failure to do so can cause many odd things to happen.

Hi and thanks again!
Yes, I did install all as administrator and latest update as I have done … years before and regular backups (I’ve a few) working as should. Well, anyway, I removed nonstop backup and files were freed and removed at once. Perhaps I’ll take a pause concerning nonstop backup option. Yes, good to have an option to backup files not just once per day, but … more often as I’ve just one-disk-system (not mirrored etc.), perhaps You’re right I should take a deeper look for Files History, not sure, though.
More thanks, Alar.
