Problem Ejecting Mass Storage Device used for Acronis Backups
After running an Acronis True Image 2015 backup I now find that when I try to eject the USB drive where I store my backups, Windows 7 tells me that the "device is currently in use. Close any programs or windows .... and try again". The backup drive is a WD My Book and the backups seem to have performed normally and I can see the files on the WD drive.
According to Task Manager no Applications are running, but I notice that the processes TrueImage.exe *32, TrueImageMonitor.exe *32 and TibMounterMonitor.exe *32 are running - despite the TrueImage application itself is not running.
- Are these processes hanging on to my USB drive ?
- Are the backups safe and correct that I have just created ?
- Is it safe to just shut down the PC and not risk harming the backups ?.
- What is this (new) problem due to ?
Thanks for any advice

Thanks for that, Steve. I'll just shut the PC and stop worrying !
(BTW, I did power up the USB drive after Windows had booted)

Mike
