Back up failure eating up hard drive space
TI 2015, Build:6525
I am really struggling with True Image 2015, I have stuck with it for 3 months but now my patience is being tested.
I have a couple back ups running, one is to the Acronis cloud and the other is to a NAS at my office. If I am away from the office (as I am at the moment, away for 2 weeks) at the back up time, it fails but does not go on and do the cloud back up, it just hangs there. If I click 'Stop', it doesn't. A computer reboot is necessary but it won't let this happen (I get a message saying 'Operations are in Progress.....'). So I have to hold down the power button and force a reboot.
The worst issue I have is that whilst away and it failing everyday, it has used up 50GB of my hard drive to the point where I only had 2GB left. Not initially knowing what was eating up the drive, I cleaned it up, deleted a few things and ended up with 9GB. The very next day it was down to 5GB.
I have now switched off the NAS back up and I'm back up to 50GB free.
I also sometimes get a message when it fails saying 'file can't be found'. How do I know which file can't be found, it doesn't tell me!
What is wrong with this product?

I could change the times of the back ups but that would only be good for 1 day as once it is frozen, it won't work the following day.
I will try setting the Error handling to only check once and see what happens.
I have switched off the scheduled defrag and clean up so hopefully that might help.
I am only backing up selected files (my working files) so Restore shouldn't be backed up.
I'll run it again and try and screen shot the error message.
Thanks for your help.
