USB rotating backups failing - retention error
Hi guys,
I have acronis backup 12.5.
I have set up backups to USB drive. two backups - one is a full image of local machine and one is file backup from a remote share.
Each one is set to keep 3 copies.
Each one goes to USB drives - I have 3 drives that I am rotating.
I found a guide that suggested I should just set up standard backup, then rotating the drives would be ok and acronis could just write to whatever USB drive was in at the time of the backup. Now I am wondering if I got the wrong idea here because i am getting an error as follows -
Backup failed
An unsupported URI is specified: 'E:/FOLDER/#arl:/4815A918-54EC-468B-BBB8-677DE0ADCF60/C5423060-2F97-4744-B2DA-C0AC10173CCF/E8FC4F5F-8AEC-A35F-3A4B-DABDE896B9B9'.
Error code 0x01350016+0x01350016+0x01490002+0x01350016+0x01350016+0x01350016+0x01350016+0x01350016+0x01350016+0x01350016+0x00A100D9+0x015B0023+0x015B0023
I am getting similar error for both backups and in the email notification there is also some mention that retention policies failed.
So I am wondering if acronis is looking for a backup from another USB drive and trying to delete it, but its not there because we are rotating drives.
I have exported full log file zip as well, but dont know if its ok to upload that?
Can you guys let me know what the issue might be, or advise me what additional info I should provide?
thanks
Dave

Hi Vasily,
Has the update been release yet?
On further inspection I beleive that this issue is stopping the backups form running at all - because the backup runtime is showing as 1 second.
If the update has been released then great, I will apply it straight away, but if not, what is the best course of action for the time being? Should I just back up to one drive, or set up two independant backups perhaps?
