[RESOLVED] Registration Server Unavailable
Anyone else experiencing the error "Registration Server Unavailable"? I installed this on two different computers on Sept. 11 and have been getting this error ever since. The best I can tell it keeps it from updating some client certificates on my computer so that I'm not able to use the online backup functionality. I was told on 9/14 that the server was under maintenance and have not been able to get any confirmation that it is back online/available now.
Issue resolved here.

Thank you for taking time to post your screen capture. I can't offer any advice on this problem other than to check your software firewall and/or router firewall settings. I can say that I can use the Online Backup services currently. Are you running the computers as an "Administrator" or equivalent?
If you have a current subscription to Acronis On-line backup, your should contact Acronis support for help with this problem. You can get support here: http://www.acronis.com/support/contact-us.html. In step 1 on the left hand side pulldown, select Technical Issues and Questions and on the right hand side select Online Backup Service, you will be prompted to log into your Acronis account, after doing so, select Acronis Standalone Online Backup Client (this will allow you to use the Chat/Email functions). Skip step 2 and use the Chat function for fastest service.

Thanks, James. I'm not using the standalone client but the True Image 2013 as admin. I purchased the software and activated the online backup trial but as I said it seems that my client.crt does not get created. I assume this is because I can not reach the registration server...
They gave me 7 steps to help them trouble shoot. Basically, step 1 below works fine for me but I don't have the certificate described in step 2.
I already have a support ticket (case ID: 01675441) open and updated it with all the detailed logs and reports so hopefully that will help them to resolve my issue.
1. Check the ports and hostnames as described in the link below
http://kb.acronis.com/content/4350
2. Check if there is a proper certificate present at:
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImageHome\OnlineBackup\\client.crt (Windows XP)
or
\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\OnlineBackup\\client.crt (Windows Vista\Windows 7)
One can double-click to open it in Windows and check the below field:
Valid from [DATE when it was issued to DATE when it expires]
If the certificate shows incorrect information (e.g. the expired certificate was not updated automatically with a newer one) or is somehow corrupted(e.g. does not open), you can delete client.crt file and reconnect to Acronis Online Backup. The most up-to-date certificate will be downloaded to the machine.
(!) Delete the client.crt only if certificate does not open or shows incorrect date. If the certificate opens correctly and shows correct information, the file should be kept.
3. PCAP logs using the link below

4. If the certificate is OK, but the errors in the log show that some server is not available, create C:\Acronis\ folder and get the output of the below commands (from Start -> Run -> cmd):
ping -n 50 storage3.acronis-hosting.com > C:\Acronis\ping.log
tracert storage3.acronis-hosting.com > C:\Acronis\tracert.log
(get both ping.log and tracert.log files)
5. Always specify e-mail account where the issue occurs and name of the machine where the issue occurs.
6. AcronisInfo report using the link below:

It's taken them nearly a week to come back with the suggestion to log out and back in and ask for my computer name which much exist in all the logs I sent them so no progress so far.

I started another chat support session and finally got some resolution from Jijo George. It seems that my online backup trial activation did not have my tarif region set properly. Once they updated that then my issue was resolved. From what he told me the issue was on their side but maybe this info might help someone else get quicker resolution if they experience the same problem.
Thanks again to support tech Jijo George for taking the time to resolve this.
On a slightly different but related note I'm seeing that it is estimating almost 6 days to upload 120 GB of backup data. Is there a quicker/better way? FTP? I realize the initial load would be the biggest and largest but still seems like way too long.
