One stupid question !

Hello,


Manually creating a backup image and mounting it works fine. But when scheduling a backup, the result is not an image I can mount, but couple of files (Note that I would prefer to have a single file here) which I can not mount.

Anyone could help there ?


Thanks,
Laurent

 

Verify that you are scheduling an IMAGE, not a file, backup.

 

Hi,


Thanks for you reply.
Yes ! I am performing an image backup (first wizard screen : An entire disk contents or individual partition).

Laurent

 

Which mount option are you choosing?

Hi,


I do not even have the opportunity to select mount option !
At file selection stage, I can't choose any file as these are not .tib files, but something like 25CBE82D-A37B-4B1B-BF64-4E7ACB0F988E !!

Hello,

Thank you for using Acronis Backup Software

Please make sure that you have scheduled a full backup (not incremental or differential).
Please note that you are able to mount only full backup archives (you always need a full backup when you mount an incremental/differential backup archives).

Thank you

Hello,


I have checked the tasks and I am not given (anymore ?) the possibility to choose full/incremental/differential backup.

I definitely need this mount possibility (images form scheduled backup) to adopt TI.
What can I do ?

I am experiencing exactly the same thing and was going to post when I saw this thread had already been started.

1. I have configured a backup location via the Management Console
2. I run an image backup (not file), destination being my backup server's location, something like "bsp://myserver.com.demo/BackupServer"
3. When the image completes, the backup location contains a bunch of files such as "6F5B0004-B675-4862-8DFB-9AFE9CD7E336", each one around 2GB in size.
4. When I go to mount a volume, it asks me to point to a .TIB file, but no .TIB file was created. I do not get the option to select my backup server location ("bsp://myserver.com.demo/BackupServer") to mount as a drive letter.

So the question is - can you mount images that were created by the backup server, rather than images that were created as .TIB files?

I'd like to be able to use the Backup Server option as I would like my images to be consolidated, and as I understand it, using the Backup Server is the only way to consolidate, but looks like I can't mount the image.

Alternatively, if I create a bunch of image files (full and incrementals) such as:
- myserver.tib <-- FULL
- myserver1.tib <-- INCR
- myserver2.tib <-- INCR
- and so on..,

can these be consolidated somehow?

Cheers...

P.S. Hope I am not hijacking the thread. It seemed like exactly my problem.

 

Hi,


You don't hijack at all.

Hope we'll get a response...


Cheers,
Laurent
