2 PC's, W10, gone for a week and backup scheduled weekly.

We'll both PC's should have run a backup today when turned on. Both were off for a full week when we were away. However, one DID NOT?
Wife's was scheduled to run on Tues. day and today it did run. Her version is W10 Pro.
Mine was scheduled to run Sat., but it DID NOT run today? I opened ATI 2016 and the last was 7/22 and the next scheduled for 8/5. I looked at the log files folder, did NOT even run with an error?

Now for some ODD reason when I did boot my PC this morning it didn't seem to fully boot? Screen was colored a medium blue, and the hard disk light flickered. Pressed the power button and the PC shutdown. Then came up normally?
In the SNAPAPI folder I do see 2 entries for when I 'double booted' it seems.

Quite a few similar to the above.
That log was over 400KB, and I have others of similar size both before and after the ones above and they too have 'error' in them.
Is this a problem?
Any reason the backup didn't start? Where should I look for clues? As far as I can recall, when the PC had been off in the past when a backup was scheduled it ran on the next boot?

En réponse à I had a similar problem some… par truwrikodrorow…

Ian, maybe that explains the problem?
As I said in my initial post:
=========

=========
I did see 2 log entries about 1 minute apart. When the PC first came up it was 'running' as I saw the drive light flickering. I couldn't tell why though? I pressed my power button and it immediately went into a shutdown. Powered up again and it came up normally. Wondering if one of two things had happened:
- PC was operating correctly, and ATI had started a backup, but the display driver didn't load properly.
- I had a momentary hardware problem and the SSD boot drive never came up, but that would explain why it booted the 2nd time but not why ATI didn't run?
I think I'll wait to see if the normal time will run?
I will keep the 'solution' in mind though. I did look back at the older files that were over 400KB and those all had the errors too fir the UEFI disk, so this 'problem' might have been going on for a long time. However sometimes those logs show no errors.
My boot drive is an SSD and it is over 4 years old, I could be experiencing momentary drive problems too I guess. I think any boot DVD/Flash Drive could be used for the process, even the Windows Recovery drive.
Thanks for the pointer.

Need some help here. Today it should have ran. DID NOT?
What should I be looking for?
I can not even find a TASK for Acronis? However Scheduler2 service IS running?
Suggestions please?
- Se connecter pour poster des commentaires

Irv, Acronis does not use the Windows Task Scheduler for its tasks, there is a separate Acronis task scheduler that runs in the background.
You can use the Acronis Scheduler Manager program (link in my signature) to see what tasks are in the schedule by using the 'get list' command after running the scheduler manager tool.
You will also need to use the MVP Log Viewer tool to look at the logs for the scheduler as these are separate to the normal backup task logs, and are not particularly easy to read either!

Thanks Steve...
Wouldn't you know it, I just woke up the PC and started to read this and it started to run...

Supposed to have 8 iterations which it does? All backups seem OK?

Irv, the error code isn't saying anything that isn't already shown in plain English in the log itself - for some reason Acronis just encode that text as Base64 which renders it very cryptic for no good reason that I can think of! The code can be decrypted in NotePad++ to show the actual text but it is not a pretty sight!
Next, the output from the Scheduler Manager 'get list' command contains references to files stored in your C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts folder where you will see a number of .TIB.TIS files which use the same names as the UUID / Script values shown in the output. You can open these files in any text editor and see what each entry relates to, i.e. any validation actions etc.
Sounds from your comments that things are going OK - just a confusion over when the task was set to run?

Yes, everything appears to be OK too.
I'm still getting those SNAPAPI errors though. I thought with the suggestion from IanL-S I had that solved. I ran the W10 Defragment and Optimization and those 2 drives said they had not been Optimized in a long time. Ran it on those 2 drives and had to reboot. It did 'perform' something rather fast on reboot, so I thought it was fixed. It isn't, I just ran Defrag and Opt. again and it still shows as needing it. I guess I'll need to boot to an alternate source and try CHKDSK on those drives, that is if this is really a problem that would hinder recover. I'd think not though, if I couldn't recover I'd probably just install Windows on the SSD wiping out everything and then just recover the C: partition anyway?
