47954: Backing Up to Removable Devices with Regular Drive Swaps

Thread needs solution

Does anyone know how to use an internal hardrive swap as a regular backup in Arconis 2015 or 2016

 

i have found the knologebase article below but it doesnt relate to the new version of arconis

47954: Backing Up to Removable Devices with Regular Drive Swaps   

https://kb.acronis.com/content/47954

 

the old server was windows XP with an old version of arconis and there was a internal drive with a caddy that was the primary backup drive this drive was swapped on a regular basis with arconis adding to the backup that was on the particular drive. when this is attempted on the new server with the same hardware arrangemet it errors on arconis the new server software is Windows 7 Pro 64bit with Acronis 2015 (I have the upgrade for 2016 though)

Any help would be most appreceated

Hi Jordan,

The restrictions in the article that you found apply also to swap drives in Acronis True Image 2016.

In case you use swap disks, you would only be able to do full backups, since otherwise there might be data inconsistency.

Also, retention rules won't be applied to such destinations.

Basically, you need an individual task mated to each target disk you wish to use.  This link can help.

Verson 2016 backup task will not proceed when it sees a the target disk to be different than what was attached at time of task creation.

Pror versons would proceed but not 2015 & 2016.  Each target disk needs its own task for 2016.
