The specified file does not exist: cdp.metadata
I had this issue for a while now where when I started the machine I'd get some error that the backup failed. When I open TrueImage there would be a red indicator on the Backup tab and one of my backups would appear to be going - all though never complete.
Whenever I clicked on the arrow down button it wouldn't give me an option to do anything other than Stop.
When I clicked Stop nothing appeared to happen. (This is where I gave up most of the time.) But today I happened to leave the window open, and after a while it'd eventually stop.
I could then inspect the settings etc.
When I chose Validate I'd get a red cross for my failing backup - however, with no further feedback to what is wrong or how to resolve. (Really bad UX IMO.)
After some googling I found the logs and after randomly sifting though them I found this line:
<event id="39" level="4" module="485" code="35" time="1455226641" message="The specified file does not exist: E:\Acronis\Documents\cdp.metadata." line_tag="0x4D3F22948E29F1C0" >
And true enough, that file doesn't exist. (I checked hidden files.) So now the questions begs - what can I do next? The application is not very helpful in assisting in errors.
I compared to the other working backup - it doesn't have sucha file either - but it yields no errors.
Anyone got any ideas?
(Btw, I tried to find a way to contact support, it said my support period had expired - fine, I'lll just renew - but I cannot find any means to do so. I find one time support options, but what if I want to resume general support? I found the support channel to be very convoluted and unclear. Concerning when you combine this with how little feedback the application provide when errors occurs.)
