Disable Scheduled Task

Thread needs solution

Hi there, I am wanting to remove a Scheduled Task that I have set up for a weekly backup, and for the life of me I can not locate where the tasks are setup.

Cheers :)

Acronis has its own scheduler. You will not see them in Windows Task Scheduler.

To remove a scheduled task you can:
- remove the schedule from the task. In 2011, you click on the schedule, and choose "do not schedule"
- remove the backup from the backup list (not delete), you won't be able to continue the backup,
- delete the backup (this will delete all settings, schedule AND TIB files). Nothing is left from the backup.

You can as well use schdmgr.exe. http://kb.acronis.com/content/1859

I am sorry, but the solutions are too technical for a rather thick OAP like me to follow. I am really getting sick of Windows saying "Please wait. Operations are in Progress" every time I try to shut down on a Wednesday. Each backup I do, I set to "Do not Schedule".
Can anyone please help in words of one syllable?

I may have been premature, because I have just looked through my list of backups and found one where scheduled backup was enabled!
I have turned it off and will now try again. Thank you.

Hi Acronis team,
I want to back up my partions and files as and when I need to. I have tried clicking on the "do not schedule" box several times for both partions and file back ups. It does not work for me. What am I doing wrong, how can I do this correctly?
Best regards,
Brian.
