47,710 days to finish incremental backup

Thread needs solution

We need a laugh. I captured this real screen shot. Even though the time did drop down this amazing:

Wait until you need to recover from an image. The "remaining time" will show all sorts of things except the accurate remaining time. I once had ATI show "20 minutes remaining" for 4 hours.

It only took less then 15 minutes on a fresh Windows 7 64-bit install. My TI image was 2010 Build 6053 with Plus Pack. Lets see 47,710 days...THAT is 136.19 YEARS!!! I'll be dead when it finishes!

I see inaccurate time estimates at the start all the time, but that one takes the cake. LOL. What version and build was it and is it repeatable?

Hello all,

Let me comment this situation.

This is a known issue with the product: when you start the backup in some cases it shows 47,710 days to complete at very beginning (this is the exact value, it does not change), but as backup progresses, it changes again to the normal value.

We have already reported this issue to our Development Team, it will be fixed as soon as possible. We will keep you updated.

For now, you are safe to ignore this incorrect behavior.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Has anything been done on this? I'm doing a full disk-to-disk backup with validation. It's now into the validation and it got to "1 minute remaining" with 100% complete and now it's still going, 102% complete and the time remaining is jumping all over the place (37,000 hrs, 47,000 hrs, etc.). I have no idea how long this will last or if will end at all. It's my first time using TI 2011 and I'm backing up a 1 TB disk to a 1 TB external disk via USB. Not very impressed with the new version so far. I'm at build 6696.

David,

The time estimation is all over the place. Roughly, your validation could last as long as your backup. Wait it out.

I set up Acronis to backup at a particular time. It does this well. However if I start it manually, the problem with the progress bar is evident as described above. It reaches the validation stage and there it stays, even though the backup has long since been completed. The support team seem unable to grasp what is happening. I've given up trying with them and don't bother with manually starting a backup, relying instead on the scheduled backup. REALLY frustrating.

Murray,

I can only recommend some basic troubleshooting:

- start a new backup task, schedule it, let the full backup run.

Archive?
- once completed, validate the archive by right clicking on it, choose archives, validate

Scheduler?
- try also to schedule the validation separately a bit later that day.

Windows?
If none works, try validating from the CD.

Computer hardware?
If this doesn't work, try to move the TIB file to another computer and validate it on this other computer from the CD for example.

This way we will see where the problem might be.
