Error message: WIN_10_C task completed successfully. Description : Cannot read the log file.
I always get a notification email upon completion of my nightly backup. Every notification email reads:
WIN_10_C task completed successfully.
Description : Cannot read the log file.
I have been getting this error for literally YEARS across multiple versions of Acronis on this same computer. The backup is always fine (I have restored numerous times) without issue. I am backing up my "C" System drive to another internal data drive on the same computer.
The strange part is I have another computer (actually a laptop) which I backup (same version of TI) which seems to be configured identically and I NEVER get the error but, as expected, a full listing of the log file in the body of the email. While this is definately not a major issue I am curious as to why it is happening only on this computer. It has happened on WIN8 and now WIN10 on this PC even across full clean installs of Windows. Not quite sure when it started but it's been a couple/few years and different Acronis versions.

Thanks for your reply. What I did discover was that it seems there are no logs. At least I couldn't (or the app couldn't) find them. It seems C:\ProgramData was a hidden folder which I unhid. Then I found Acronis\TrueimageHome\logs. There were no "service logs" found. I have attached a screen print of that folder.

Ed, an image of the log files isn't going to help us try to find out what is happening here. Please zip up the logs or perhaps better still use the Acronis System Report tool to package all of this information and post it to the forum.
I would recommend that you first delete the huge Monitor.log which is over 1GB in size as shown in your logs.png otherwise the system report zip file will be too big to upload.
The probable root cause here is that there may be a permissions issue with writing the Service logs to the Acronis hidden logs folder. I would suggest checking the Windows Event logs to look for any Acronis application errors recorded there for the times when your backup task has run.

I understand that. The point was to show there were no system logs generated which explains why none were being sent with the notification emails.
