Monthly Job

Thread needs solution

I have ABR Workstation running on Windows XP Professional.  In addition to other scheduled jobs, I have a job I run manually once per month. Is there a way to configure the job to do the following...?

  1. Overwrite the same .TIB file each month.  I do not need or want more than one backup file.
  2. Specify the name for the .TIB file.

Thank you.

Hello Steven,

Thank you for your post. I will definitely help you with this.

At the moment it is not possible to overwrite the same .tib file each month and specify a name for the .tib file. We are working to implement these features in a future update of the program because there has been a lot of feedback regarding this. For example, you can take a look at the following thread. Our software was initially designed to be able to create archive names, which contain the .tib files and then manage them through the program, either through a local or centralized vaults. Instead of overwriting the backup file you can create retention rules, which will get rid of old backups.

I would recommend this article from our Knowledge Base that has examples for setting up retention rules as well as suggestions for creating a backup job that will create 1 backup file only.

In case you have additional questions I would really appreciate if you can get back to me.

Thank you.

Hi Anton,

It looks like this has been requested since at least last November. Acronis did commit to having this fixed in U3 due out this summer. I have two questions...

1. Do you have an approximate release date?
2. Is it possible to downgrade my ABR Workstation license to True Image Echo Workstation?

Thanks.

Hello Steven,

Thank you for getting back to me.

Unfortunately, our company policy prevents me from providing the exact release date, however, I assure you that we’re working on the product development, so update will be released as soon as possible. We will notify you via newsletter as soon as we release the update. You can subscribe to our newsletter to receive the update notifications.

If I am not mistaken, you own Acronis Backup and Recovery 10 Workstation Standalone, you can downgrade any version but the standalone. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

Hi Anton,

Yes, I purchased ABR 10 Workstation Standalone. Since I cannot downgrade this license, is it possible to purchase True Image Echo Workstation directly instead?

Thanks.

Hello Steven,

Thank you very much for replying.

You can definitely purchase Acronis True Image Echo Workstation. Although we no longer offer it on our website, I will send you a private message with all the necessary information, so that you can contact our sales representative in your state.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.

Anton,

After quite a bit of e-mailing, I wanted to let you know that according to the Sales Representative, True Image Echo Workstation is no longer available as a new purchase or as a downgrade. That is rather disappointing.
