ATI 2016 failed to exclusively access backup during consolidation

Thread needs solution

I keep getting this error, "Failed to exclusively access a backup file during consolidation. Make sure the file is not opened in other applications.".

I have Acronis True Image 2016 installed on 5 Windows 10 PCs on the same workgroup. I backup to one PC that has plenty of storage. All PCs have Bitdefender Total Security  2019, with Ransomware Remediation enabled. I have excluded all backup folders on the target PC from on-access scanning and on-demand scanning. Target PC is 64 Bit Windows 10 Pro Version 1809. The source PCs are either 32Bit or 64Bit Windows 10 Pro Version 1803.

When I run the backup I get the message right at the end of validation. When I run a validation on the backup file on the Target PC, it passes, so there is actually nothing wrong with the backup. The error only occurs on the source machine as it is doing the file consolidation at the end of validation.

I have tried deleting the backup settings and creating a new backup, but I still get the same error. I tried renaming the target partitions with drive letters at the end of the alphabet, but this made no difference.

here is an email log of a recent backup:

Is there a patch for ATI 2016 that can fix this?
