Log files out the wazoo!
In C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImageHome\ArchiveExplorer ATI12 is writing 6-8 log files every single minute! I just deleted 2500 of them.
The files all look like this:

Inside each file is exactly the same thing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
These files appear to be created only when I am actually active on the computer. When I am not on the computer, they are not generated.
I can't figure out why these files are being created nor what setting in ATI12 is causing this mess. Anyone have any ideas on how to stop this useless log file writing?
Thanks Richard. From your dialog with Acronis "Support" it is clear that they remain as clueless as ever.
Do we have any idea when the 1st 2012 ATI update is scheduled to appear (although I am always hesitant to put on an Acronis fix immediately upon release if nothing is terribly broken because there is a good chance that something WILL break afterwards)....
Update #1 (Build 6131) is available now. See http://forum.acronis.com/forum/26682
And you're certainly right to be cautious.
I wasn't aware of this until I read this thread. I just deleted 4715 log files.
Nor are many others fully aware, but try not to be too hard on the support techies. It's not their fault if Acronis corporate managment and QA are too embarrassed to pass along all of the "known issues" info to them. It's a very tough job at best, and I certainly don't envy them in the current circumstances.
I just checked on my 2nd computer and it has 8016 small log files of 1kb.
Acronis, that's horrible!! How can you permit this to go unchecked?!
Update 6131 seems to fix this problem.
Yeah last night I noticed this. I sent an e-mail which bounced. Hat 1012 of these sinc Nov 11. But also noted 98 of these types.
In the C:\Users\All Users\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Logs I found among other logs, 98 logs relating to NSB, all identical accept for the date in the file name and in the text of the logs - These files started when I upgraded to the 2012 version on Nov. 11, 2011.
Sample name: NSB-2011-12-30-18-59-33.log
Sample content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
Since I only use Acronis to create a monthly Image of my O/S partition including sometimes a manually reqested copy (or re-install a specific image, I don't use the above service. (Have other means to copy my data which has worked well for over 20 years (yes even before Windows) LOL.) How can I disable the creation of these logs. I never set up such a backup service.
As to the other "buggy" log file generation I hope Joe Smith is correct. Just downloaded the True Image and Plus updates.
I suppose both types of log files can be just deleted.
Happy New Year to all.
