Backup Now button not working
Hello
A backup was missed for me so I tried to use the Backup Now button but it does nothing.
I have run chkdsk /f /r on both my external drive and internal drive and found no problems. I also have Run backup when computer is idle unchecked.
I am running Windows 10 64 bit.
Any other suggestions ?
Thank you
David

I.T. Slick Admin is correct - any of those changes can cause a task to corrupt at some point. You can try simpy renaming the backup folder (close Acronis and stop the 4 acronis services in Windows Service Management first). then rename the backup folder, restart the services and start Acronis - normally that will fix issues with a bad job. If that doesn't work, you can use task zap to clear out the tasks and recreate them from scratch.

I just experienced the same problem and the following worked for me....
open up services and right click on each of the four acronis services and select restart. I then restarted the acronis backup program. Once I did this I clicked on the backup button and it started backing up

Chris, the key service that needs to be active / running for a backup to start is the Acronis Scheduler2 Service, many of the other services such as Synch, Non Stop Backup are not required for this scenario.
