Email Notice every hour - Constant back ups
I am getting an email every hour that my back up has been successfully completed. I have Acronis set up to back up once a week. How do I correct this?
FWIW I tried rebooting. No help. Then I tried unplugging my external hard drive back up and I began getting messages (about 50!) every 10 minutes or so.
Please advise.

Hi Steve:
I think I already have a log. That's what I am getting by email. I have pasted teh log below. It appears to have backed up successfully, I'm just not sure why I'm getting the same email every hour and, presumably, the back up is running on a near constant basis.
Here is my latest log:

Mark, thanks for the log which looks to be normal!
Please can you zip up the logs that cover the period from when this problem started and post those to this topic in the forum. These can be found in C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Logs and should zip to a fairly small size as are only text files. The alternative would be to create an Acronis System Report and attach the zip file for that to the forum topic.
