Backing up at shutdown

Thread needs solution

True Image 2015 is set to backup at shutdown or restart, it does carry out a backup on a restart, but will not backup on a shutdown.

Hello Geoffrey, this has been reported before in the forum and is normally caused because of the way the latest versions of Windows do not do a full shutdown, instead going into a hybrid sleep state which is equivalent to hibernation.  This in turn confuses the application because it cannot detect that a shutdown has occurred and so does not run.

 

Grover had a suggested work-a-round... it's basically a post-backup command in the backup task that calls on windows task sceduled shutdown from a batch script. Looks harder than it really is though - it's not that bad to implement and will be calling on Windows to perform the shutdown outside of Acronis, but as part of the backup task.
