Back Up Failure

[leoliver]

Hi Everyone,

I scheduled TI 10 to do weekly back ups of my internal disk #1 ( "C" drive and a Dell partition), to a "J" 130 GB partition on a external drive. The first 4-back ups went good, but the last back up was a failure. ( I'm attaching the log file )
My "J" partition is 130GB, and I have four disk #1 drive image back ups on it, with a total size of about 118 GB.
I created a back up location, on my "J" partition, with these rules, 129 GB total size; max. back up number #5 and a 45 day limit. But the log files say that these rules weren't even checked on the failing back up, but they were checked on the successful back ups. ( If these rules were checked, the oldest back up should have been deleted )
Also, before the back up failure, I installed both Bit Defender Anti virus 2008 and Comodo personal firewall, and both these apps. were running during the back up failure.
During the 4- successful back ups, I had a older version of Bit Defender running and Windows firewall enabled.
Your feedback on this problem will be appreciated.

I assume its checking the disk free space before it does anything else. You said your partion is 130GB with 118GB used so only 12 GB left. Apparently there is not enough room for TI to work with. I don't use V10 so I'm guessing here that you are just running out of disk space.

It was my understanding that the back-up rules I created, for my "J" partition back up location, would automatically delete the oldest back-up to free up disk space. But for some reason TI 10 didn't check for rule violations first.

Do you use incrementals or differentials or are they all full backups?

As I understand it, TI 10 will not delete a backup until the new backup has been created. This is so you're not left without a backup in the event the new backup fails for some reason. Users have requested the option of bypassing this, but Acronis has not implemented it.

There needs to be enough free space for the new backup.

Thanks, I didn't know that .
