Acronis Stalls at 12%
Good Morning All,
I have been working with Acronis to try and backup a folder to tape.
I am trying to do an incremental backup, to make it quicker and easier to backup.
After setting the task up, which, will grab files from a shared network folder and back them up to the tape. I ran it and it worked with no issues, although it was very slow and took about 1 week to backup 800GB.
I scheduled the task to run by itself now, and it stalls at 12% every time.
I have lookd through the logs and could not seem to see anything that stuck out to me.
The Log file is attached.
If anyone could please help me, Thank You

Hi all,
Systems Department, in the logfile we see numerous errors "Failed to create snapshot for backup". I suppose, that the issue is related to the snapshot creation and not to the backup on tape. But in order to localize the issue, I would suggest testing the backup to the internal drive. If the issue persists - please proceed the following way to troubleshoot the issue with the snapshots.
Andreas, please check the log file, if there are also errors or warnings, related to the snapshot creation and follow the same recommendations.
Please also make sure, that you are using the latest build of the software (currently 43956) and the tape drivers are up to date. If the issue persists, copy some large files to the tape manually and compare the speed rates with that of Acronis. Check if the following article is applicable (sometimes the poor writing speed on tapes is caused by the different block sizes).
Tahnk you,

The log file didn't help.
** The problems with ACRONIS BACKUP have increased. **
1. It is installed on a new and fast computer but the performance is unbelievable SLOW.
2. A simple backup of some data takes about 23 hours!
3. The log file shows only a few information, bad statistics and error messages with no helpful data.
and now...
4. Changes to the backup list isn't possible anymore because the calculation of the new backup size doesn't come to an end.
** As the program is unable to do the work it was intended for, we are going to look for another solution. **
ACRONIS BACKUP has failed.
