ATIH 2012 Hangs During "cloning".

Thread needs solution

I put cloning in quotes because if that is indeed what it's doing, I don't know why. I have my drives backing up, 5 of them staggered over different days of the week due to doing them all one after the other over one night was crashing the program left and right. Some drives are full disk backups, some are files and folders, ranging from 80GB to 1TB. The backup, I assume, goes on as expected, then the status bar changes to "cloning", time remaining is stuck at "calculating", and mousing over the status indicator in the system tray says "backup in progress - XXX%", where xxx has been anywhere from 130 to 260. It just sits there, for days even, unless I manually restart; even then, Windows will wait on the shut down screen telling me "The computer will be shut down when in progress operations finish", which it never does until I kill the power and restart. I don't have to tell you how risky that is to Windows. Any ideas what's going on?

Zhayton,

What build of 2012 are you using?

What OS do you have?

Has 2012 always done this or suddenly started doing it?

I haven't seen your problem reported before where the status bar changes to 'cloning' when a full disk image is being made.

Could you give some screenshots?

Could you give further information on the types of tasks you are running, do these start manually or via a schedule?

Has this started happening after a Windows Update?

Have you tried running a repair install of 2012?

Colin and Zhayton,
I have seen the "cloning" status on my system and reported here on the forums as well. I think this "cloning" happens when consolidation is turned on and Acronis is attempting to create a cloned backup before/during the consolidation process. I think to correct this issue, you should create new backup tasks following the guidelines in Grovers guide http://forum.acronis.com/forum/28705 (Thanks Grover). Try and use Automatic cleanup rules rather than Automatic consolidation rules, and I think you will get better results. For small backup jobs the Automatic consolidation worked okay for me, but on large backup jobs, the Automatic consolidation process either stalled out, or took so long that I never allowed it to finish. The Automatic cleanup seems to work much more smoothly.
