Acronis Backup Advanced 11.7 - Can Replication be started BEFORE full backup completes? & Does the machine being backed up have to stay connected during replication?

Thread needs solution

Acronis Backup Advanced 11.7 - Laptop running Windows 10 must move around during the day and sometimes for days isn't even near it's home network..

Can Replication be started BEFORE full backup completes?  & Does the machine being backed up have to stay connected during replication?    It takes hours to complete a full backup and sometimes a full day.  So we have tried raising the compression level and priority to highest but we find the replication process doesn't start until the backup is complete, if it started while the backup was running it could give us at least a day head start.  The other issue is it seems if we remove the laptop, then the replication complains..  We thought the replication is being handled by the unmanaged central vaults storage..  

What can I do to fix these issues:

1) get replication to start before a backup completes?

2) get replication to run without the backed up machine being in place?

Does the upgraded version do these things if 11.7 doesn't?

And if not, seriously, with workstations being laptops now, why doesn't that work, it seems logical?

Hello Barry,

Replication process is in fact rebackup of the backup archives (not original data), so the source of backup shouldn't be required to be online. In your case I think the issue is rather related to the Agent (installed on the laptop) being disconnected and thus not able to execute the task.  When the source location of replication is Managed vault then the storage node performs replication. However Agent that was doing the backup initiates this process and monitors it. Only workaround I can think of would be using some script to copy the data to a second location..

 1) get replication to start before a backup completes? Nope, not possible in 11.7..In Acronis Backup 12.5 Advanced we have implemented the so called Off-host data processing, when you can create a separate plan for operations such as replication, validation or clean up and schedule it's execution independently from the backup plan. 

Thank you,

Please, TG's maintenance has expired, what would it cost to update to 12.5?

Please contact Acronis sales reps at https://www.acronis.com/en-us/company/#contacts  My colleagues will advise on possible upgrade ways and pricing. 

In the meanwhile I'd also recommend installing a free trial version
