    Hi, my first post here as I recently bought TI 11 and backed up 'my computer'
    to an external hard drive but when I open Acronis it's saying I have no backups. The backup operation was completed successfully and afterwards validated successfully. I thought maybe I had done something wrong so uninstalled and reinstalled Acronis but getting the same result.

    Here's a pic of Acronis when I open it ..........

    Here's a pic of the contents of the backup, which says created at 15.27 when it was actually created at 14.27 ??

    Any help greatly appreciated :doubt:

    Ignore it. That alert doesn't detect any manually invoked backups but only detects whether a scheduled backup has not run from a schedule. Unfortunately, you have to open the program to see that alert, which is preesumably what you're trying to avoid by having your backups run on schedule. So, it's kind of whacko any way you look at it. Just ignore it and hope saner designers prevail with future builds. It is a relatively innocuous oddity.

    Thanks shieber, that's put my mind at rest (for the time being), any idea why the backup has the time created as one hour later than it was ie. 15.27 instead of 14.27 ??
    Thanks again :)

    The one-hour-off is just a bug in the way ATI misshandles date/time when it names files. As you and I and in fact anyone who can tell time can tell, it's an error in the programming that hasn't been fixed yet. Since it's relatively innnocuous and buried way down deep in some of the fundamental code, it's probably not high on the list for ATI11 fixes.

    Congrats on getting your alert to turn green. Of course, in about the same time it took to open up ATI and see the banner, yhou could have just run a task manually or, wishing to avoid that, not openedup ATI at all, which is the ultimate in automated backup mangement but he antithesis of that banner's function.

    But it's clear you're getting the hang of ATI.
