The Last Backup Has Failed

Thread needs solution

Hello all...

Since updating to the latest version I am experiencing an issue trying to backup my laptop (running Win7 Pro) to an external USB 3 hard drive.  At the end of the backup I get the error message "The last backup has failed.  Failed to exclusively accress backup <filename>.tib during consolidation.  Make sure the backup file is not opened in other applications."

There are no other files on the external drive and I start Acronis True Image 2016 on a clean boot of my Win7 laptop.  I'm at a loss to figure this one out.  Any ideas??

Thanks!

Here is what I would do:

- on your USB drive, move manually all the existing backup files to some other directory, for safekeeping,

- then, in ATI delete the backup task.

- Create a new backup task. See if that solves the issue and let us know.

For this error Enchantech has previously recommended that one not do automatic validation as part of the backup task (if currently set to do do).  If that option is selected, remove it and run the backup again and see what happens.  If it works, then run the validation manually afterwards.
