Ошибки (Bugs)

 

Hello,

Windows 10 1909, 18363.592, User mode

1) Delete chains of versions older than ....

Initial settings: 1.jpg

Result: 2.jpg

On 12/02/2020, chains with the creation date of 12/19/2019 - 12/25/2019 are stored

Question: what needs to be done in the settings for the Cleanup Rule to work?

PS: The same thing happened back in 2016 (it is forbidden to insert links)

2) If an error occurs (error reading the XXX sector on the disk), this task stops but also Tasks, the launch of which was scheduled after the stopped task, do not start until the user accidentally sees this, enters the program interface, clicks 'Cancel' or 'Skip'!

Question: what needs to be done in the settings so that the tasks are not dependent on each other?

thanks

For Acronis to delete version chains older than 30 days, the whole chain must be older than this, so the days do not start counting until the next new Full backup file has been created successfully.

From your screen image, day 1 would be on 26/12/2019 so your oldest _b2_ chain should have been deleted after 30 days from this date.

Note: if you change the number of days, it has the effect of resettings the count back to 0 and starting the count over again!

For errors such as bad sectors, the task should stop being active after the number of retries have been exhausted, as set in the Options > Advanced > Error handling page.

Hello Steve,

Thank you for your attempt to explain at least something in this craziness, called Acronis :(

1) >>> should have been deleted after 30 days from this date

Yes, they should have deleted but not deleted!
My question is, what should I do to this to work?
Of course, I can do "Clean up versions" manually, but I would like to have this process in automated mode.

2)>>  set in the Options > Advanced > Error handling page.

There are such functions, but they don't work correctly.

Settings screenshot attached, in which the dialogs windows appear and rest tasks are blocked.

A bit offtopic:
I have been an official User of Acronis Tue Image since 2013. Until 2017, I tried to tolerate numerous bugs and program errors, then stopped buying it.
In 2020 I thought that probably everything has already been fixed, and again I bought a license, but the errors are still the same.

John, I expect that you will need to use the Clean up versions tool to reduce the number of version chains for your backup task(s).

Personally, I have never used the cleanup option to delete old chains older than X days as it has always been the more difficult one to understand and manage.

Instead, I have always kept to using 'store no more than X version chains' which has worked just fine for me.  I normally set X = 2, so when my 3rd version chain is started with a new Full backup, the oldest chain then gets deleted.

For error handling and bad sectors, I have to say that I would not use the option to ignore bad sectors as that is a recipe for nasty surprises further down the line when the disk fails!  I would rather be told about bad sectors and given opportunity to decide what actions to take.

CHKDSK /R will check for bad sectors and try to reassign any that are found, but if a drive is going down that path, then using diagnostic tools provided by the drive maker is the next step to determine just what else may be failing on the drive.  Finally, replacing the drive before it fails!

I have just taken a Seagate drive and put it in the rubbish bin after it started giving such issues, and when I ran the Seagate Seatools diagnostics, it constantly failed their Short tests with pages of bad sectors.  The tool said it had repaired the sectors but when it was run again, the same list came up again!

Dedicated diagnostic utilities from the disk manufacturers take the longest time to complete the checks, but provide the most accurate methods of checking whether the disk is good or needs replacement:
