Scheduled Backup Fails Unable to creta file ... cancelled by user
I am using 2011 Update 1 build 6597 on Windows XP pro in a workgroup environment.
I have a scheduled backup to an external USB hard drive set to backup the main PC data and data from 2 other machines on the workgroup.
Some nights the backup runs correctly and at other times fails with:
/event>
Browse</bold> to specify another location, <bold>Retry</bold> to try again, or click <bold>Cancel</bold>.: ⎂Retry//⎂Cancel/" module="4" time="1294524007" />
Browse</bold> to specify another location, <bold>Retry</bold> to try again, or click <bold>Cancel</bold>.: ⎂Retry//⎂Cancel/: User response: ⎂Cancel" module="4" time="1294524607" />
It seems like TI cant create the backup file and automatically terminates.
But it only does it sometimes.

Gary,
If I understand, you run a backup to a local USB disk. I guess on the USB disk you have a share for the other computers to backup?
Which backup is failing? The one on the computer where the USB is connected, or one over the network?

It's the one where the USB is connected. For some reason when the backup runs it says it cannot find the backup disk (even though it is correctly connected) and asks for user action to specify the backup location. After 10 minutes it times out and the backup fails. If I re-input the drive in the user dialog the backup runs fine.
It seems that it cannot "remember" the existence of the backup drive.

Is there any chance that the drive letter changes because you plug another drive sometimes?

Nope, because i have had problems with the backups i have left the same drive in and it keeps the same letter.

Hello Gary and Pat!
Thank you for finding time to report about the issue on Forum, I appreciate it and will be glad to assist.
Pat, thank you very much for your help!
Gary, there can be several reasons for the issue, so in order to solve it we need to localize one.
First of all please make sure that there is enough space on the target USB drive, and the connection to it is stable (re-plug the USB drive to another port).
Should there be enough space and the stable connection, but the issue remain, we will take a closer look at the issue. Please gather the following data:
- Acronis Info
- Acronis Report from the problem machine when the USB drive is atached
After that please submit a case with the information attached, and let us know it's number.
Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!
Thank you!
