Backup 12.5 Advanced: big step back
Hello.
I'm on Acronis 12.5 Advanced Workstation from some days and upgrading from 11.7 was a terrible mistake.
There are a lot of annoying things causing only issues:
- After upgrade all previous repositories were not usable for new backups and there is no way to save credentials for them. I had to create new Locations
- Agent upgrades install the Backup Monitor i don't want and there is no option to disable it
- After agent upgrades, they try to install a Tape location that doas not exist
- There is not a simple way to check the status of each plan and last backup results
- The status bar is ridiculous and always green wahtever happens
- Plan names cannot finish with a variable anymore and i had to rename manually all my plans
- No option to clone a plan anymore, only workaroud is import/export
- Remote agent install with MSI and MST is not working, i will invastigate later on this.
- The web interface is .... cannot comment it
- Ticket opened on 01 June, no answer yet.
I'm really sad i have decided to upgrade my working 11.7

7. No option to clone a plan anymore, only workaroud is import/export
We implemented "clone plan" functionality and it will be available in the next update.

Hi.
Here are some clarifications.
1) Previous storage location were named to something like bsp://[server name]/[location name]. Backup doas not start on this location type. I had to create new.
2) Agents upgardes are done remotely and generally i install the agent remotly. In this case you cannot control if the Monitor is installed (there was this option on 11.7). Local installation on each machine is really annoying and time spending.
3) In this screenshot, 3 just upgraded agents install a Tape location. On workstations it will not be so common. What's more, you can see there is a Bolzano NAS. This is a remote location on a NAS share i have already removed. When i upgrade an agent there's an activity called "Refreshing Recovery Point" that add it again and fails bacuse of wrong credentials. But, again, this location was removed.
6) All my plans where named [machine name]. This is not allowed anymore, you have to add something at the and and cannot be a variable. I had to rename all plans.
10) My ticket is 02999390
adding
11) No option anymore to select network speed by %, only fixed bitrate (there was in 11.7)
12) No option anymore to revert back to default setting for each plan (there was in 11.7). This could be a nightmare.
What should be nice to have:
1) Option to start a backup, or not, depending on the IP subnet the computer is connected. Useful for users tha travel to different location so the backup will not start when on mobile VPN. Now i have to use a script.
2) Ability to change different settings for multiple backup plans.
Thanks,
Lorenzo
