How to stop acronis from creating scheduled backups

Thread needs solution

In Acronis 2010 I had 5 backups scheduled to run every Sunday morning. Then I upgraded from Acronis 2010 to 2011. None of my scheduled backups appeared in the backups list. So I created a new set of schedule backups and scheduled them to run every Saturday morning. Now Acronis creates both the new 5 backups on Saturday morning plus the original 5 backups on Sunday morning. But only the new backups are listed in the list of backups. I can't find the way to stop Acronis from running the original backups.

Download the acronis scheduler here.
Look at the paragraph "manage your tasks"
task zap

This will erase all the schedules, not the tasks or the TIB files. You just to reenter the schedules of your active tasks.

I would suggest Exporting your tasks first, just as a backup measure until you get everything sorted out, before running the task zapper.

This seems to have solved the problem. I'll know for certain on Sunday morning. :) Thanks for the information.
