Backup Location Not Found - 64-bit Windows 10 Aniversary (version 1067)

Thread needs solution

After installing the Win 10 64-bit aniversary update (version 1607 build 14393.10), I'm getting errors that the backup location cannot be found on a backup to a local disk. 

The drive appears to be operating normally, and a chkdsk shows no issues with the drive. 

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Harrison, welcome to these user forums.

It is still very early days for seeing issues related to the Windows 10 anniversary update version but as this is essentially an OS upgrade, it is possible that information held in the Acronis Database has been corrupted or damaged in some way if all was working fine before the upgrade.

One thing you can try here is to create a completely new backup task to the backup location and see if that works OK, if it does, then use the option to Clone the settings of your existing tasks then delete the original task settings before trying to run the cloned new tasks.  This should help cleanup the database and set good information for the tasks.  Once you have deleted the old task settings you can rename the cloned task as needed.

I got it too.  Backup is not corrupt, but due to the OS upgrade, Acronis thinks the disk has changed (most likley do to the paritions being modified in the upgrade process by Windows).  

I only needed to modify the backup task and reselect the source and destination locations again and it is chugging along again. Just keep in mind that modifying a backup task will recent the current version chain count as well so yoiu could end up with some additional incrementals or differentials that are lareger than normal until the next full backup runs again. 

Thanks guys.  I was able to just rest the destination and it picked up with the next backup in the backup scheme.  It happened to be scheduled for a full backup, so I'll see if the behavior is different when I run one on my other backup sets later in the week.
