Error that Is Telling Me to Reach out to Customer Central
I recently bought a 10 TB external hard drive. I have 15 backups on it. 1 full, 14 incremental for 3.40 TB total.
At this point it is supposed to create a new full backup, and start with the 14 incremental process. I have 5.52 TB total available.
The email dialog that I receive after every backup is saying it failed and that there was an error.
When I go into Acronis and click options for this backup it shows:
An error has occurred while obtaining the location information.
More information about this error and solutions may be available online in the Acronis Knowledge Base.

Any ideas on what this is? That go was to have 2 full backups on the drive, before 1 (the oldest) needs to be deleted every 15 days.

It was a files & folders backup. Same backup I have been running for years, but about 20 days or so switched to a larger external drive.
That is correct, I currently have build 25700 active.
It looks like the logs are saying that the specified file does not exist. Its odd that it went to try to create a new full backup as I had it set to create 50 incrementals before creating a new. And it stopped at 15 incrementals.
I did get it to work yesterday & run a backup. It ran a full backup, but it was significantly smaller than the drive size and it said it completed.
This morning I restarted my computer, am going to delete that backup, & am going to try to run the backup again. I will report back with the outcome, but it probably won't be for 14 hours or so.

How did you move to the new HDD; did you move the existing backup from within ATI 2020?
50 incremental backups is a lot. If something goes wrong with one of the incremental backups, then subsequent backups will be useless. I use a combination of disk and partitions backups and files and folders backups to minimise the risk of failure.
I had a backup that has been running for months without issue stop backing up, and like you the error message was of no help. It was a differential disk + partitions backup, and had a large number of differential backups (not sure why I set it up for only an initial full backup). This happened with ATI 2021 beta rather than ATI 2020, but the solution was equivalent to doing a repair installation. So it may be worth trying.

Within ATI I cloned my other drives setup & then changed the drive letter & adjusted it to be 50 incrementals.
Other then those 2 items everything should be identical. I will drop it back down to 15 incrementals, which is what it was previously. It did run fine for the first set of backups. It seems like once it went to create the new full backup after the 15th incremental that that's when it started failing.
My other drive that is connected backed up fine yesterday without issue. I have 2 different drives connected, so that I always have a valid backup. With the same process of either disk & partitions and files & folders.
I will try to run it again tonight & see what happens. Thanks for the input.
