The last backup has failed
I have recently updated Acronis Treu Image 2017 to version 5554. It works just fine backing up to Dell desktops (Optiplex 9010 and 9020). But on my Dell laptop Latitude E6520, incremental backups appear to complete but generate the message "the last backup has failed." A backup file is produced, and I can restore individual files from it using Acronis True Image 2017. But validation of the backup fails, and trying to open the files from Windows Explorer reveals no contents (unlike earlier backups). The same is true whether backups are scheduled or ma nual, and even when a new backup is made to a new directory. And the same is true when using a different external USB hard disk.
The inability to open the backup file in Explorer and the validation failure suggests that the backup cannot be used for a complete restore (Recover PC) in case of system failure, rendering the backup useless in that case, so I will have to try to find and revert to an earlier version.
The zipped system report is too large to attach.
If anyone knows of a fix, please reply.
