help, please.

Thread needs solution

The installation for windows 10 failed. Some glitch with Microsoft not related to my system. I restored the image from 7-2-2015. I started within windows 8.1 and successfully restored. Apparently Acronis began to do an unscheduled backup creating a vol2 additional tib file. I did not initiate this one. It completed... Leaving an addition file in the original folder. See pic attached.

The first is dated 7-02 and the next 7-30, today... but residing in the same directory as the first.

Can I delete the later file... has the first been altered by the appended file or should I ignore the first and trust that acronis will only deal with the first.

Hi Paul,
Without us knowing how your task is set up, having a log file, or what the truncated portion of the second file you've given us to look at is, we can only guess what might have happened.

I suspect your restore may have been what prompted the subsequent back up. In any event, if you don't want to keep it, you should remove it from within the software and not manually so the archives.xml file will know what back ups exist. If this is not done, the program will believe the 7/30 archive exists and will always be looking for it.

I see its your second post here. Welcome to the forums.

The first file was a full backup with no scheduled backup, a stand alone in its own folder.
I restored and after restoration, the program on its own started a full backup placing the new file in the earlier folder next the the older one and proceeded to make a similar backup.

I deleted the backup from within the program and both were erased. I believe that the same thing happened the last restoration. However I am careful to make each a full standalone with no scheduling. and clicked make default. No Idea why the program is compelled to append the original in its local folder.

Hi,
There must be a task. Its not possible for the program to create and run BUs on its own?

The first was a stand alone full backup with no scheduled task.
Restore of the file began in windows. I checked restart computer if necessary but saw no subsequent task. I'll open restore and see if something was checked but in past I've never had a backup schedule a backup. Only on completion of restore does this happen. perhaps something in restore is defaulted to append a backup. Notice that the two backups are of similar size. I'll look when home. thx.

I went though all the settings backups are Custom full with no schedule, stand alone.
I see nothing in the restoration section that would trigger a backup after restore completes.
If anyone has an idea of why or a possible setting I'd appreciate it.

the second backup ran in the background. It was joined at the hip with the first and when I deleted it from within the program, I
do no believe there was a way to separate them. They seemed to both be full backups. The second backup up what was restored by the
first. I think this happened the last time and an acronis tech helped me run it... at least till rebook.

Thanks for any help.

68030: create automatic backup after restore

I just found the above post. Same issue and it seems unresolved.
I'll look again at the settings they talk about. They may be hiding in plain site :)

One other question. what is the green check mark on some backups and also between the source and destination dialogues?
