Disable "My backups" list from indexing

Thread needs solution

I have ATI 2011 build 6597. I don't want it to automatically start indexing all my backups and create a "My backups" list. Can I shut that off? It is a real pain to "Remove from list" each and every back I have on all of my hard drives. It takes a long time just for one "Remove from list" to be removed. Why is this software so slow on my super fast new computer?

DTM,

ATI insists on creating this list. Sometimes it takes a long time to ATI to browse all the files looking for existing archives. On my backup disk (with lots of files), it takes about an hour.
If you interrrupt the process, ATI will start over again next time.

You can precent this by temporarily hiding the folders where all your tibs are:

Recently I uninstalled ATi and reinstalled it. This time I hid the folders on the attached backup disk. ATI didn't find any of the many TIB there, just found 2 win 7 images on another disk and was happy with its work. I closed down ATI, I then the folders, relaunched ATI and went on my merry way.

There's a known bug ati2011 that can cause the gui to exhibit long delays between mouseclicks on XP and W7 machines. These appear to be related to the program attempting to gather info to update its task/backup database and the window as you describe. The programs runs without the delays if you operate without the gui (e.g., running scheduled backups). Others have found that if any attached Network Access Storage device is turned off, it can cause these delays -- in those cases, turning the device back on eliminates the delays. Acronis is aware of the issue and reportedly is working on a solution.

You can remove those you do not want to see listed and add the other few back to the list.

 

To remove them you have to wait until ATI finds them and returns to the keyboard/mouse for further instruction. What he's really looking for is a way to tell ATI to stop or to avoid updating.

"What he's really looking for is a way to tell ATI to stop or to avoid updating. "

Correct.

Any update to this issue in ATI 2011 Build 4942?

You can't stop this. It's fundamental to how ATI operates, especially to how it maintains its database of backups.

You can try a faster way which is to delete the file you don't want using explorer then go into ATI and and look for the backup--you will get an error message that it can't find the backup, tell it to ignore.
