2017 acronis vss

Thread needs solution

Hi,

What file do I edit in acronis so I can use acronis vss and not microsoft vss when I do a backup?

Thank you

Jack, you can do this on a per task basis as below:

  1.  Open the folder where your backups settings are saved: C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts
  2.  Each file there stores settings for particular backup job. Open files one-by-one in Notepad, or open latest modified file (if you have just modified your task), until you find the one that has backup name on 5th line, e.g. MyBackups
  3. Click Edit - Replace and replace use_vss="true" with use_vss="false"
  4. Save changes and close the file

Jack, glad to have been able to help.  Merry Christmas to you & yours too.
