Seeing two of the same device

Thread needs solution

Hi - I am seeing two instances of my desktop computer in the online dashboard (see attached file). The top entry of the to devices constantly shows OFFLINE, but when I check the Details, I see my recent connection to Acronis Cloud (from this afternoon).  I have the option to Delete the top entry when I click on the little gear icon.

For the second entry, when I click on Details, it says that device is ONLINE, but there is no entry for Last connection time. I also do not see an option to Delete this one.

My backups in ATI 2020 seem to be working just fine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it always comes back to these two devices.

Any ideas what is going on here?

Thank you,

Jim

Jim, the information shown in the Online Dashboard is mainly information and would suggest that there was a change in something related to the connection from your computer at some time.  You should be able to delete the duplicate 'offline' entry without any issue.  There is no option to delete an online entry.  Deleting the entry does not touch your backup images.

Thank you, Steve.  I went ahead and deleted the one device. I think I know what happened to get the second device entry, but will spare all the boring details unless it's needed to resolve.

The only part I don't get is that the remaining device is still showing "Enable Backup" and if I click on that, it has me create a New backup. I am running a backup right now after deleting the duplicate machine and will see what things look like after that.

Thanks again,

Jim
