Several issues (Responsiveness, Hanging Jobs....)

Thread needs solution

Dear all

I've write down my issues in a word file in order to be able to put in screenshots.
Please excuse my English, my native language is German (Switzerland).
It would be glad if someone could help me with my issues.

Best Regards

From what I see, I'd say that there is a combination of things:
- since your selection of backups to keep after the consolidation is not contiguous, ATI might fail or has to run several tasks to achieve what you want,
- since some consolidation has failed, it is highly likely that the database is now a bit confused.

I recommend against using consolidation because it presents no advantage when compared with clean-up, but involves a lot of TIB edition and copying that can fail for various reasons.
First, be aware that when you select the files in the first screenshot you show, you actually select the files you are going to keep, all the other files are going to be folded up together,
Second, to consolidate, ATI will create a temporary working file that will grow to be at least as big as the biggest file involved in the consolidation, plus some. If consolidation succeeds, ATI will have to delete the original files, rename the temporary files and the remaining files to get to a coherent naming suite.

I would recommend you remove (not delete) all the backups and tasks from the backup list. Then validate your last backup file. If the backup validates, great. Keep the files. If it doesn't validate, delete the backup files.
Then, start a new backup task. Use an incremental backup scheme. Tell ATI to create a new full after X incrementals. Turn on auto cleanup. Choose the option to keep the Y most recent version chains. Choose X and Y so that you have enough space for (Full+X')*Y + 1.5* Full, where Full is the expected size of a full backup, X' is the upper range of the size of an incremental.

Hello Pat

Thank you for your replay!
I've also read in the manual that Acronis recommends not to use consolidation at all.
Your recommendation in the last sector is what I actually did for all my backups with the only execption tht I didn't calculate the required space precisely enough.
