Windows 7 Scheduled Jobs Fail w/"snapapi,dll file is missing..." Error

Thread needs solution

I could use some help. I have 3 Windows PC's, all running Windows 7 Ultimate (Retail - 64-bit) connected to a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo (Linux). All three PC's are using True Image Home 2010 build 7046 (all three also have True Image 2010 Plus Pack build 7046 installed). All systems use a scheduled routine to backup to the ReadyNAS. Two days ago, one of the PC's failed a schedule job with a 0x000B03E9-Ox00040011 error which translates to KB5140: Acronis Ture Image Home 2010 Failes to backup with "cannot find a partition with path \local\hd_sign(53EDB55F)." This KB specifies that "The snapapi.dll file is missing. Repair the installation to fix the issue."

Snapapi.dll does exist in the c:\program files(x86\Common Files\Acronis\snapapi directory as does my other two PC's. I have also checked to make sure Acronis Scheduler Service is running. This PC has performed scheduled jobs (the problem does not manifest itself with manual job to the ReadyNAS) perfectly for months.

I have:

1. I checked restore points to see if anything unusual happened prior to the first failed schedule job. Nothing unusual.
2. I checked Applicaton Log and I see a Warning:0x800401F0; Failed to connect to server (this could be the result of True Image failing to find the snapapi.dll, I guess). BTW, I can connect to the ReadyNAS via Explorer and other programs.
3. Attempted a repair with the original True Image Home disk. I get same problem.
4. I removed True Image Home and True Image Plus Pack and rebooted.
5. I did a reinstall of True Image Home only. I get same problem
6. I checked ACL, ReadyNAS permissions, etc. All is in order. In fact I can do True Image manual operations to the ReadyNAS without difficulty.

7. I tried the UNC used on the other computers as well as a network share; no difference, still fails.

I have spend a day going through the forums and google without determining a problem or fix.

If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I love True Image Home and would love to keep using it but manual backup jobs are not convenient in the long term.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Maniac8888,

Let me assist you.

I may suggest you to delete all scheduled tasks ion the problem PC and update SnapAPI driver in order to fix the issue. Please do the following:

- Download the http://www​.acronis.c​om/files/s​upport/sch​edmgr.exe file ;
- Start the Command Prompt from Start -> Programs -> Accessories menu;
- Run the following commands in the folder you saved the file to:

  • schedmgr task zap

This will delete all Acronis scheduled tasks on the PC. You should manage your scheduled tasks from the scratch.

To update Acronis SnapAPI driver, please use the installation package I've sent you via Private Messages.

If the issue still persists, please collect AcronisInfo and submit a request to support.

Please reply to this thread if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
