Prompt For Insert Media Before Duplicating to 2nd Location

Hi,

I'm posting this in a final attempt to find a fix for this issue, here is a suggested fix that works for backing up to a single location, but doesn't work if you want duplicate the backup to a 2nd location:

Known fix
- go to to options Default Backup options, additional option and untick Ask for first media while backing up to removable media.

Then you run your job and it still asks. - Why - because the job was created before the default settings was changed.

If you edit your job, you will now see in backup options that : Ask for first media while backing up to removable media" is now showing as a changed option to default settings. Open it and get rid of it.

Reason - the job was created before the default options were changed and so saved with this option turned on. You could also fix the problem by deleting the job and redoing it after changing the defaults.

I've tried this and it works for backing up to a single location, but not to a secondary location. In other words, I still get the prompt to 'Insert Media' before the backup image will be duplicated to a secondary location after the initial backup has completed!

If there's no fix for this, I'll have to look at other products because this feature is vital to me. A backup image in a single location (drive) is just not secure enough. I need the software to backup to 2+ locations automatically, without any need for me to intervene or interact to complete the process, e.g. overnight, during breaks etc.

UPDATE!!!

After hours of trying to solve this issue, I've given up! I spent a whole day reseaching solutions without success, and in the process found too many horror stories from Acronis users on Google and Amazon.

This simple feature should just work and not need hours of problem solving... that doesn't fix the issue!

I've got a NAS RAID 5 storage unit & Sugarsync for my main backups, I wanted to use one backup program (AB&R) to back to the NAS, and for a mobile approximation of a RAID 1 backup solution by using the backup to a 2nd location option... Without the need for user interaction to complete the task.

After a bit of research I've managed to achieve this by using a combination of EaseUS Todo 3 & Allway Sync. This isn't an ideal solution, but it works!

What I want to know is why two programs from different publishers can do this relatively simple task, but B&R (which has this feature built-in) can't?

I really wanted B&R to work so I wouldn't have to use 2 programs, but this looks like it's the only option at this time.
