Hard to tell when item is disabled
I recently learned the hard way that the task list does not let you know which items are disabled. I have two backup tasks, and due to the fact that my server was down, I thought I had disabled that backup temporarily until I could get it back up. About a week later, I discovered that I had disabled the wrong task, and instead had accidentally disabled my regular system backup. So, I went for almost a week w/o a backup on my regular system.
If you disable a task, there is no visible sign that I can tell on the screen letting you know that the task is disabled. The only thing that lets you know this is if you right-click on a task, the usual "Disable" now says "Enable", and that's the only sign that I can see. If I saw the usual red circle with a "x" in the middle on top of the backup task icon, I would easily be able to tell which one was disabled, and avoid this problem.
Yes, I have alerts set, and I did receive errors stating that it could not back up the server, but I frequently have strange problems with Acronis anyway, and I guess I ignore them too often, and I shouldn't.
I'm running Acronis True Image Home 2010
