Acronis looks for old backups
Hi all,
I have had this problem in both 2014 and 2015. Sometimes it looks like Acronis gets out of sync with the backup and stops cleaning up. If I delete the backup settings in Acronis and create a completely NEW backup, new name, new location, new settings, it fails at the end of the first backup because it's looking for the OLD backup! See for example: http://screencast.com/t/EDvqBGtDzWr This happens during the "Consolidating backup" phase. And it's STILL using the name scheme from the OLD backup, as in ...b5_xxx, when it should be ...b1_...
My solution to this has been to completely remove Acronis and then re-install it. Just uninstalling may not be enough - I have had to go through searching for every acronis folder on the drive and remove them and also remove entries from the registry in order for Acronis to get out of this. Example: I just completely uninstalled Acronis 2014, rebooted and started Acronis 2015. When I created a new backup it picked up all the settings from the old backup (which was removed) except for the schedule. It's a PITA and I would really like to have some other option to start a NEW backup without it automatically hooking into the old ones which have been removed from the drive and from Acronis. Due to changes in computers I have had to move things around quite a bit in the past few months and this has caused this problem to surface.
What can be done to get around this?
