TI 2021--Cannot Recover from Acronis Cloud due to XmlRpcRequest Error

Thread needs solution

I have a new 2020 Razer Blade 15 Advanced that I'm upgrading the SSD.  I used TI 2021 to upload an image of my hard drive to the Acronis Cloud.  Using the Acronis Rescue Media Builder (in all three forms), I get the same error each time I'm trying to recover from the cloud: "There is a connection problem or error in the server. Check your internet connection or try again later. (0x1E7000A) XmlRpcRequest Error"

I'm following the user guide going from the ARM to the cloud.  The Acronis RMB GUI doesn't show wifi connectivity, and there is no LAN port in the laptop, so I can't observe wifi connectivity (or lack thereof).

Is this a known issue, am I doing something wrong, or is this something new?  I'm open to any ideas to help install a clone to the new larger SSD.  Thanks in advance!

Gerald, welcome to these public User Forums.

The rescue media has very limited support, if any, for wireless devices, so the issue here is very likely to be simply a lack of any wireless connection to the Acronis Cloud.

I would recommend using a USB backup drive to do this migration to a larger SSD, where no network connection is needed and if needed you could use a single USB 3.x port.

I suspect that your Razor Blade 15 laptop also has a PCIe NVMe M.2 type SSD installed that you are looking to upgrade to a larger model.

Personally I have not used cloning with my own M.2 SSD's as I have no suitable adapter to connect 2 with and have no systems with 2 slots for this type of drive, therefore I have always used Backup & Recovery to migrate to a new or larger drive.

The steps in outline are as follows:

  1. Create the Acronis Rescue Media (use the Simple option for WinPE)
  2. Test booting your laptop from the rescue media, ensuring you understand how to boot in UEFI mode and can 'see' your current SSD drive and an external backup drive to hold a full disk backup image.
  3. Make a new full Disk backup of the working SSD to an external drive as a one-off backup action.
  4. Shutdown the PC, remove the current SSD and install the new SSD.
  5. Boot from the Acronis Rescue Media with your backup drive connected.
  6. Recover the Backup from step 3. to the new SSD.
  7. Check the Log messages before exiting from the rescue media (all logs are lost on exit) to check all is OK.
  8. If all ok, disconnect the external drive, remove the rescue media and restart the PC normally from the new SSD.
  9. When you have confirmed all is ok with the new SSD, make a new backup again to include any new device drivers installed for the new SSD.

Note: if your new SSD is larger than the original one, then you may find that ATI has not expanded the C: OS partition to use the full new size of the new SSD.  If so, then this is quite simple to resolve as below:

First, download a copy of the free MiniTool Partition Wizard software, install this, then use it to move the Windows Recovery partition (that is shown after the C: OS partition) to the end of the available unallocated space. 

Next, resize the C: OS partition to use the available unallocated space.

@Steve Smith is spot on. Time-out errors are common when attempting to recover from the Acronis Cloud - particularly if you are downloading a backup file rather than doing an in-place recovery.

I have used this method several times (with great success) when replacing an NVMe SSD.
