Backup script TIS files suddenly changing from applied settings

Thread solved

This phenomenon has been mentioned previously, but in a different guise and context. A stable script in ATI 2020 current build which has been running for many months suddenly changed on 22/11 from being a file "full" backup to an "incremental" one. I corrected this and the next day it had changed again. I've now done a controlled test; having reset the script to perform a full copy, I saved the TIS before running backup, then after it had completed. It stayed as a full backup. However, today (26/11) when calling up ATI for the first time (at 19:18) since the aforementioned save, the script has changed back to incremental. The modified date on the file shows 08:44 on 26/11 (this morning) which corresponds to shortly after the machine was booted, 3 other files were changed at that time, 2 relating to a NAS drive, and the other to a cloud script. None of these scripts was actually run. Something in the background processes has obviously changed this on startup, but what, and why? Clues as to what has suddenly caused this would be most welcome. I've attached three copies of the script in question (1) before backup (2) after backup and (3) this evening after it reverted to 'incremental' again. Thanks in advance ...

Graham, welcome to these public User Forums.

Please see forum topic:  True Image 2020 -Backup option settings loss - with hundreds of users reporting the same issues across ATI 2017 to 2020 versions.

Stop the Acronis Managed Machine Mini Service and set the Start up type to Disabled to prevent the problem coming back until the issue from the Acronis Dashboard servers has been fixed by Acronis.
