TI home 2009 backup failure every time

Backing up to second internal hard drive on XP. Used to work just fine. Now every backup, whether complete or incremental, automatic or manual, fails, according to the log--i.e. date is in red. No other error messages.

 

I would check some of your other programs you might have recently installed. Especially programs that monitor hard drive activity (ultraiso/poweriso/daemon tools/hd temp monitors etc).
I've encounter situations where my zone alarm firewall was interfering with my backups.

 

I'd also run chkdsk /r on both source and target drives

 

If I’ve upsized the mother board memory recently, I’d conduct a full memory test with mmtest86. Otherwise, I don’t mind to run the test again.

 

Mine says it's failed every time I run it - it hasn't and it works perfectly if I want to do a restore. The reason scheduler states failed in my case is a bug in the system if you set scheduler to only do full backups with no consolidation deleting the oldest on a FIFO basis. TI 2009 isn't supposed to be able to run this way but it can, the only down side is this failed error bug.

I get two log messages every time on incremental automatic backup/shut-down.

</log>

I haven't a clue what these mean. "Operation has succeeded" doesn't match the red/failed notation.

It used to work!

Maybe I'll try disconnecting from the net and shutting down Zone Alarm to see what happens.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I hope the techs are working on fixing this!

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

Art,

There are two possible causes:

- You are trying to run an Acronis True Image task under a Windows user account different from the one the task was created;

- The original task script (*.tis) was registered in Acronis Scheduler improperly.

Try running the operation under the same Windows user account under which it was created.

To resolve the issue with Acronis scheduler please re-start it.

- Download a special Acronis utility;
- Start the Command Prompt from Start -> Programs -> Accessories menu;
- Run the following commands in the folder you saved the file to:

schedmgr task zap
schedmgr service stop
schedmgr service uninstall
schedmgr service install
schedmgr service start

This should delete all Acronis tasks on the PC. You should manage your tasks from the scratch. Execute a backup operation and see if the issue remains.

Thank you.

OK, that fixed it. I hope you will now come out with a patch that will look for that sort of problem and fix it or, at least, give the user a warning and a place to go for the fix.
Thanks for your help. I love the product otherwise, Art
