Missing slice fouls backup validation

Thread needs solution

Hi,

My current backup scheme makes a full backup every week, with daily incrementals, capped at 4 weeks' worth. This week during or after the logic to delete the 'week 5' backups, there was a network issue.  Now every backup validation looks for a slice(s) that no longer exists.  I've had this happen before and I know there's a solution in Acrornis, but can't seem to find it now? Essentially I just need to get acronis to forget about that backup...

Ron, if by a 'missing slice' you mean that one of the daily incremental backup files is missing, then you need to do a validation of your backup task in order to reconcile the Acronis Database information with the actual status of your remaining backup files.  You will get a message about each / every missing file that you should take the Ignore option for and repeat this until the validation is completed.

Ron, glad to hear that validation did the trick for you.
