Getting multiple backups every night
This PC runs a differential backup every night and, until a few days ago, one backup file was what I got. Suddenly it's started giving me six every night. Luckily my NAS has plenty of available space but it's still not behaviour I want to continue. I tried forcing a new full file but this didn't stop it. The file names are what you'd expect, given a job name of Daily: Daily_full_b2_s1_v1.tib then Daily_diff_b2_s2_v1.tib through to Daily_diff_b2_s6_v1.tib.
Reading though some old threads (look, someone does read old threads! ;-) ) on database recovery, I found a reference to schedmgr.exe which would zap all Acronis Scheduler. If no-one has any better ideas, I'll give that a try.

Steve, thank you for your usual extremely informative post. I have to admit I got bored waiting for my OP to be moderated so I just used schedmgr.exe. 'get list' only showed the two tasks I expected (daily and monthly) so I used 'task zap' to kill them off then reset the schedule within ATI. On the basis of last night's run, this seems to have worked.
