Acronis deleted TIB file of different backup

Thread needs solution

I had 3 backup tasks.

First task was drive image. I created it, ran full image of fresh install, and scheduled incremental changes weekly. It was going to use too much space, so I deleted the task and left the archive.

Second task was also full image, saved to a different folder on the same drive as first image. I set it to run manually and to only save 2 copies.

Third task is files and folders, saved to a third folder. Set up to run daily.

I ran the new disk image manually. Worked fine. Then I ran the files/folders task. Also ran fine. But it deleted my original tib file.  I don't understand why. This tib file was associated with a different task that no longer exists. It was in a different subfolder. Was this a bug? Or does Acronis not care that these are different tasks?

Michael, welcome to these user forums.

In order to look at this type of problem we would need to see the Acronis service log files to try to get an idea of what was happening.  There have been very few reports of similar behaviour in the forums so it is difficult to second guess why this happened in your case.

If you would like to create an Acronis System Report and attach it to this forum post we can take a look at the logs that it will collect.  You can also download the Log File Viewer app from the link in my signature below as this will help you to look at the logs for yourself.
