re-start after timeout ?

Thread needs solution

I'm trying to archive files off to DVD and Acronis wrote 7 DVD's and timed-out before finishing the last 2.
[I have now set the timeout to infinity]

Is it possible to re-start a back-up if the routine has timed out ?
ie I don't want to have to write the DVD's all over again . . so is there a way to pick up from where the routine timed-out ?

I don't know if there's a way to resume.

For future reference: it's generally faster and more reliable to create the backup to a HD, specifying that it be split into DVD size, and then copy those parts from HD to DVD yourself.

good point. Thanks for that.

I did what you suggested. Acronis compiled the data to 3 files on the c: which I will burn onto 3 x DVD's.
When the destination was a DVD, I was up to 7 DVD's and that was when it timed-out.
The files seem to be there so I don't understand how that works. Anyway, it was a good tip. Many thanks

I have a rather odd timeout problem.

I get the message: the last backup has been cancelled by timeout.

BUT: when I check the log it says: operation has succeeded. And indeed that seems to be correct.

In a way this isn't a problem as the backup is being made, but I'd still like to know why I'm getting the timeout message, and if possible correct it.

Thanks in advance....
