can't access online backups from Web browser

Thread needs solution

In addition to all the issues with making an online backup in the first place, I'm finding it impossible to view my backed up files from a web browser (IE7, FireFox 3.6 both tried). I can log in, I see one computer (even though 2 should be registered), but when I input the encryption key I just get a message saying that the online backup is currently unavailable and I should try again later!

The problem wasn't fixed. Now I have the same problem. I attached a screenshot.

Hello Jörn,

Could you please try to do the following?

  1. Log in to your account, go to Online Backup section and download a Standalone Online Backup Installer.
  2. Install the software and try to access your backups.

Please let me know the results.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Thank you.

I use True Image on my PC. So it's not possible to install the standalone client. With True Image it's possible to recover my file or get access to my backups.

Hello Jörn Brandt.

Thank you for specifying the details. Actually we tested this scenario several times and couldn't reproduce the issue you're experiencing. Thus this sutiation requires investigation. Could you please kindly do the following? 

  1. Please create C:\Acronis\ folder and get the output of the below commands (from Start -> Run -> cmd):

    ping -n 50 storage3.acronis-hosting.com > C:\Acronis\ping.log
    tracert storage3.acronis-hosting.com > C:\Acronis\tracert.log

    (get both ping.log and tracert.log files)

  2. Please obtain Acronis System Report.

After that please contact support directly with the information attached.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you!

I have enough with acronis online backup. I changed to Strato Hidrive. There I have no problems and a full speed. I paid 29€ to Acronis for one year. It was a mistake. Since January 2010 I must regulary contact the support. I have a lot of threads in this support forum. Now it's enough.
It's very pity that I paid the 29€ because my account expired in 04/2011.
