ATI 11-8101, Scheduled Tasks not showing up in Task Manager

Thread needs solution

I have been using ATI since version 7 and have had great success with my backups and restorals. However, after installing version 11, although I can get tasks to run, I cannot manage them with the management tool, as they don't show up.

I've tried deleting the Script file, then creating a new task, but that doesn't work for me. I have been thinking of upgrading to 2010 but until I can get this issue resolved, I'm not going to invest further into software that cannot do what it is advertised to do.

Please respond.

I had the same problem. Go to "Tool & Utilities", "Appearance", "Filter". Uncheck "Show only tasks created by the current user". That fixed it for me. I don't know how come this was a problem though, because I installed it as this user.

Hello Colin and Dave,

We're terribly sorry for the delay with the response. We'll do our best to prevent such situations from happening in future.

Most likely the issue was caused by malfunction of Acronis Scheduler service, so to fix it, you need to update the service manually and re-create all tasks.

Please do the following:

  1. Download Acronis Scheduler, which is a special utility to update the scheduler service
  2. Extract the downloaded file and run install.bat. The utility will automatically update the service
  3. Reboot the machine
  4. Recreate all tasks

Please reply to this thread if the issue is not fixed, I'll do everything possible to help you.

Thank you.

Yes I had the same problem, couldn;t find jobs or tasks which I had created. Very frustrating becasue I ke[pt creating tasks but couldn;t see them to edit or delete them. The it was running 4-5 full & incremental backups during the night and still running in the morning. I just upgraded to ATI 2010 and was only able to find the appearance/filter solution by pressing ALT while clicking on the menu. It worked and now I can see all the tasks I have created. I'm on a network (in my home office - SBS2003) but am the only user and log into this machine with the same username and password every time. I have admin privilages.

There is no way to detect the user which created the task (that I can see) other than when editing the task and viewing the credentials. But as I look through the tasks all but one have the same username.

I think to bury the user filter in "options" and not include it on the tasks and log screen is a poor UI choice. I also makes no sense to me that you have to hold down ALT and click in the menu area to access program preferences. I would start on the next build by displaying all user's tasks in the scheduler by default.

I'm using True IMage Home 2010 build 6053 on an up to date XP box backing up to a USB hard drive.
