Cannot save my backup scheme settings
All was going great until I got the latest update. This did not work (see below) and so I reinstalled the old version. Still the same problem.
Problem: I cannot save my backup scheme settings. I want a differential scheme, with 2 backups a day with 14 differential versions before a full backup, and with cleanup keeping 10 versions. I save it, I press OK, but when I review (found the problem when I got to 25 versions) all that was in my backup was the "create only differential versions after the first full backup".
Any ideas why this problem is occuring? I cannot find an anwser anywhere, so am resorting to this forum
Thanks,
Glenn

Redundant backup scheme
Acronis newbie here:
Trying to schedule redundant backups using True Image 2015 (build 6613).
My Custom backup scheme has been working fine for several months (weekly; differential; create a full version ever 3 differential versions; store no more than 2 recent version chains (attachment Acronis2)).
Goal is to have backup redundancy with backups stored on 2 diferent external drives. I've checked "Create a reserve copy of my backup" (attachment Acronis3).
Acronis did create a full backup on the second external drive at the first scheduled backup; however, at the 2nd and 3rd scheduled backups, the differential backups were created only on 1 of the 2 external drives.
How can get the complete backup scheme to write to both drives?
Thanks very much,
Donald

Glenn,
Based on your write up:
" I save it, I press OK, but when I review..."
It appears to me you are referring to the Save As & Save buttons as shown on the picture below:
These only save the backup scheme. In order to "save" the backup settings, you have to perform a backup now or backup later.
As a trial, you should set up (or edit) the task (although editing a task is not recommended). Select Backup Later...exit ATI...run ATI...then check the settings.

Donald,
Welcome to the forums...you should have started a "New Topic" on the ATI 2016 main page. Threads with multiple topics can get confusing and some problems can get overlooked.
However, "Backup Reserve Copy" does not do what you want it to do...please refer to para 4.3.10 of the user manual. To do what you want to do, you need to create 2 separate tasks, which is exactly what I do.
Regards,
FtrPilot
