Problem with scheduled back up - Random Failures with Error 1327

Thread needs solution

I am another person having this problem. I use 64 bit Vista (not XP so don't give me a fast switching solution). There are a number of posts which show the same issue and no solution that has worked for anybody such as #10843. Tried them all .. nothing fixes it. I do a daily backup and have just noticed that they fail with a 1327 error randomly .. 10 times in 60 days with no valid explanation.
I am the only user. I do not need or want a password and do not want to have to logon.
Is someone at Acronis going to give us a solution??? Looks like this has been going on for months ever since Windows XP days.

I've just got this error - as for many other users, it suddenly happened although task has worked perfectly in the past and just worked successfully when I ran it manually.

As noted elsewhere, it is evidently an unsolved problem with the task scheduler when there is no password, and occurs randomly.

I am trying the solution in http://forum.acronis.com/forum/6225#comment-32757. The name in 'Run with credentials' option was [PC]/[user]. I have changed that to just my User name without the PC name. We'll see if that works.

This is a serious problem for those of us who prefer not to use a password, as we could assume we have a backup for a particular day when we do not.

Uhoh. Thanks. Putting it back.

Edit: Turns out Acronis had put it right back. LOL

I got to thinking. This appears to be a Windows problem, not an Acronis problem, since it's the scheduler which objects to login.

I have PC running all the time. Realized I hadn't rebooted since the problem started. Rebooting should do proper login to Windows.

Rebooted and problem appears to be solved. No more 1327.

Same problem here with 64bit Windows 7 and True Image Home 2010. I also have no password...and intend to keep it that way. Neither rebooting nor any other suggested fix in this or related threads make any permanent correction (rebooting seems to reset the scheduler, but it subsequently fails again...everything else checks out OK). Scheduled daily Backups [in my case, full followed by 6 incremental] run successfully for a period of days followed by the error 1327. Manual running after schedule failure runs fine. So whether or not it is Acronis or the scheduler in both Win 7 and Vista and perhaps XP that is the source of the problem, it appears that there is no known fix for it, just some inconvenient work-arounds. I will continue to try to narrow the parameters that affect this situation...but it does currently seem random...and I really do not have time to spend on tracking down this issue. Hopefully someone will be able to cause a correction to this situation shortly...I will be checking back here from time to time.

Well, its getting worse and worse. I put in a logon (64 bit Vista) to see what would happen. For the past few days no error, but it runs at random times and sometime skips a day. And the password is a pain.
I have rebooted often and it makes no difference to the error. That is not a solution.
This is ridiculous .. and a crashing silence from Acronis.

For whatever reason, after I managed to recover from the disastrous experience described in http://forum.acronis.com/forum/12927#comment-39221, Acronis has gone back to working perfectly just as it always did before July 25.

No password, no way I would use one.

After dealing with the same problem and finding no solution on any of the forums or from Acronis tech support, I found a solution. I switched to Carbonite online backup. In fairness, the problem may be related to the Win7 operating system, but still, I would expect some sort of response from Acronis to at least acknowledge the problem and let users know they are trying to resolve it. I still use Acronis as it works great when making a disc clone and it has other usefull features. But I won't be upgrading to the next version.

They may not do much by way of support for 2010 now that they have 2011. I don't see any reason to upgrade though.

I have had no further problem at all. Acronis 2010 s working perfectly, making daily images to my external USB hard drive. Every so often I mount an image and that always works. I do check the logs every so often just in case.

I consider 2010 to be a winner. As opposed to 2009 which was a disaster for me - it couldn't restore its own backups and I had to revert to trusty 2008. Maybe we should stick to just the even numbered ones. :)
