[Feature Request] "Eject" media after backup job finished

Thread needs solution

We use RDX media for our daily backups. Currently I have to run a script after the backup finished in order to eject the media.

Please add an option to the TrueImage backup jobs where I can set that I want the media to be "ejected" once the backup has been completed.

This feature has been requested many times over the last few years, would be nice to finally get it. ;)

Christian, welcome to these User Forums.

Your feature request should be submitted directly to Acronis using either the Feedback tool found in the ATI GUI, or via opening a Support Case with them.

If you are able to run a script to eject the RDX media, then have you tried putting this into the Options > Advanced > Pre/Post Command script selection field as a Post Command?  This would be the simplest method of achieving what you want.

As I said, this is what I am doing right now. But I do not consider this a nice solution. True Image should eject the media after the backup.

Christian, sorry but you really need to raise this directly with Acronis but to set this in context, this is the first topic that I have seen from any user in these forums asking for this feature and the first mention of using RDX media I have seen too.

I was under the impression that if I post something like this in the official forums then this will be noticed by Acronis. Or dont they monitor their own forums? If so, whats the point of having a forum. O.o

But I did use the send feedback feature inside TrueImage now as well to forward this FeatureRequest.

There have been plenty of topics about RDX media eject in these forums over the years. ;)
Just on example: https://forum.acronis.com/de/forum/acronis-backup-125/tandbergdata-rdx-…

Christian, thanks for submitting the feedback and the link to the Acronis Business product forum topic for Acronis Backup 12.5.

There are occasional Acronis visitors to the forums but with no guarantee that this type of request will be acted upon.

Thank you for your feedback, Christian! I've passed it to the product team for consideration, however chances that it will be implemented are rather low, as this functionality is mainly a use-case for our business products.
