Consolidation errors on drive not attached on ATI 2014
So I have a rotating disk backup. I backup to drive R and keep another disk (drive S) elsewhere, then I switch them. I have 2 backup configurations, one for drive R and one for drive S. When a drive is disconnected, i simply disable the schedule for that configuration.
So, I started with Drive S. Did backups for some period of time. Then I disconnected it and turned off the schedule.
I attached drive R and enabled its schedule. It seems to backup just fine, however it tries to consolidate the files on drive S at the end of an R drive backup. This of course fails. I'm not sure why it's trying to do this consolidation.
I have read a lot of stuff by GroverH and I think I setup the configurations correctly. I have it cleaning after a number of build chains. I even recreated the settings for the R drive backup from scratch and I'm getting the same issue.
See attachment for logs and settings.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick response Grover.
Validation is disabled on both tasks. I recreate with a full backup every week or so, so I wasn't overly concerned about validation. The backup is slow enough as it is.
As for the versions.. hmm.. For the R drive backup it's showing 41. The last backup was b3_s3_v1. It shouldn't be at 41...
The S drive backup isn't showing number of versions. I think I misspoke in my first post.. I think I recreated both configurations. The s drive backup actually says "not backed up yet".
Add-Backup does have "Auto-Search" at startup checked. I'll disable that.
Both disks were attached when I created the configurations. It wouldn't let me save the changes if the drives didn't exist.
Would it be worthwhile to do an uninstall\reinstall?
Thanks

Yes, if you are willing to do it, I would uninstall using the TI cleanup utility as in my signature link 4.
Create one new unscheduled task and get all the settings correct before using.
Then clone the task and edit to make the clone point to the other disk.
YOu should not need both disks attached in order to save settings. You should only need the disk attached which is being created or in use.
When you get done, would you mind copying one of the final script files into a zip file and attach. I would lke to see the contents of the tib.tis script files. Thanks and let me know how you make out.
NOte the comment "niot backed up yet" simply means that all your backups have been manual and none were scheduled. It does not mean there are no backups.

Looks like the complete uninstall and clean, then reinstall and reconfigure worked.
Thanks for your help!
