ATI 2015 backups at shutdown instead of boot routine

Thread needs solution

Hey,
I want ATI to backup on boot routine once a day. Everything therefore is set up correctly but Acronis backups at shutdown every day. I've already deleted the settings and created a new schedule. That works some days and without any obvious reason, it changes its behavior to shutdown backup without changing the preferences...
So what can I do?

You might want to consider running the TI cleanup utility (my signature link 4 below) and then reinstall. Read the text instructions inside the cleanup utility .

Or, another option would be to use the Windows Task Scheduler to run your backup rather than the TrueImage scheduler.

The task you need for TrueImage is a non-scheduled task which runs on demand and the demand will come from the Windows Tasl Scheduler of run on bootup. BE sure the windows task is checked for run at highest privileges and these steps are covered in the pdf guide.

When its working, you can expect a delay at startup of your computer being slow which the backup occurs.
The only function TrueImage has is to run the task as it has no scheduler duties and the task will be run on demand from Windows.

thanks, I'll give it a try. I just really wonder why the internal schedule doesn't work. Since I bougth that software I spend at least 30-60 minutes every day 'cause something isn't working as it should. Really frustrating.
