Acronis True Image 2021 - What Happens if PC is Turned Off When Scheduled Backup is to Begin?

Thread solved

Hello,

My schedule backups are once a week, Sunday 3AM.  My PC is generally on 24 hours a day.  But recently the PC was powered off when a scheduled backup was to begin.  When this happens, are future scheduled backups cancelled?  I wasn't aware that the backup did not take place until 10 days later, and I saw that no backups had occurred since the day when the scheduled backup didn't occur because the PC was off.

It would be nice if users would be alerted by e-mail when scheduled backups fail to occur or fail to complete successfully.  

Thank you.

Curtis, welcome to these public User Forums.

There are options on the Schedule page for your backup task that include what to do if a scheduled backup is missed, i.e. run when the system is turned on / or after a set delay etc.

Open the Advanced portion of the Schedule page.

Note: Acronis can wake up a sleeping / hibernating computer if the option is set to do so along with having Wake Timers enabled in the Windows Power Options.
