Scheduled tasks stopped working, cannot create new ones
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Acronis True Image 2015 for PC Build: 6613
In case I never mentioned this in the past, I really hate the lack of notification when something goes pear-shaped with this version of Acronis. I don't want a freaking email sent to myself, I just want the program to notifiy me that it's not working.
Enough of that, on to the issue at hand. Apparently I haven't needed to restore files on my computer since April ... because that is the last time my computer sucessfully backed up (after happily trucking along for 17 weeks) and I had no idea that I was flying without a parachute for the last 8 months.
I decided to just abandon the old backup scheme and start from scratch, but when I try to create a new scheduled task I get an error message saying "Failed to deploy task. Restart your computer and try again. If the error persists, check your Antivirus settings."
I have followed the instructions in the AV settings knowledgebase article (I use ESET) and restarted the computer ... no luck.
I have shut down all Acronis services and renamed the Database folder (found that tip in "start from scratch" post) ... no luck.
Anyone have an idea how I can get this heap of software running again?
Has useful event notification been brought back in the 2017 version of the program?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
