Non stop backup consolidate

Thread needs solution

Why do not my old backups consolidate? I started non-stop backup 6.07.17, while the computer does not work 24 hours a day, i turn it off at 10 pm, but when you turn on the computer, the old backups do not consolidate. In the help it is written that the service should work for at least 24 hours, this minimum is considered from the first activation of the service + 24 hours of real work or just + 24 hours? Thank you

Please see the ATIH 2017 User Guide: Using Acronis Nonstop Backup which has a comprehensive description of this feature of the software.

See in particular the section for How it works which is different to the way that normal local/network backups work, but very similar to how backups to the Cloud work by using Deltas.

See finally, the full text below about retention and consolidation.

Retention rules

Acronis Nonstop Backup keeps all backups for the last 24 hours. The older backups will be consolidated in such a way that Nonstop Backup will keep daily backups for the last 30 days and weekly backups until all Nonstop Backup data destination space is used.

The consolidation will be performed every day between midnight and 01:00 AM. The first consolidation will take place after the Nonstop Backup has been working for at least 24 hours. For example, you have turned on the Nonstop Backup at 10:00 AM on July 12. In this case the first consolidation will be performed between 00:00 and 01:00 AM on July 14. Then the program will consolidate the data every day at the same time. If your computer is turned off between 00:00 and 01:00 AM, the consolidation will start when you turn the computer on. If you turn off Nonstop Backup for some time, the consolidation will start after you turn it on again.
