Verifying causes poor media error - user intervention required.

Hi all

I am testing Acronis Echo Enterprise Server.

I am successfully creating images across my network to a NAS Server. I am getting a "poor media" error message during the verifying image stage. This has happened on 2 different Servers. I can click continue and the verification completes. Is there any way to get it to automatically retry without my input?

This is the error in the email notification.

Full backup of XXXServer Task is waiting for user interaction.
Description: Create Full Backup Archive
From: Disk 1
To file: "\\Freenas\AMonday\XXXserver.tib"
Compression: Normal
Description:
"Full Backup of XXXserver across network to NAS"

Problem Info: Error reading the file.
Problem Details:
A possible reason may be poor media quality.

Please press Retry to continue with Volume 1 or press Cancel to cancel the operation.

Thanks

I have a very similar problem and the exact same error. Backing up a brand new Windows Server 2003 x64 machine to a NAS, the machine performs full backups with no problems, but it absolutely will not perform incremental backups. I've verified the full backup .tib and am able to mount and explore it with no issues. I've been going back and forth with Acronis support for over two weeks now with this, so far they have no solution. If you discover anything I'd be very interested to hear about it, as right now we've basically got a $1000 piece of software that only works halfway. :/

P.S. At least you can click continue and get the task to complete, mine just straight out fails every time. I'd also like to add that I have two other servers using Echo and backing up to this NAS with no problems.

 

I re-formatted the drive I was using to backup with and for the next weekend's test images everything worked fine with backing up and restoring to new hardware.

This past weekend I have another image from a different Server that will verify every time but will not restore. I've tried it on different computers using the restore cd using full and safe modes, and I've also tried it from within Windows and still end up not being able to restore. The Windows method doesn't say that the image is corrupt but "is unable to install service blah blah" (3 of these) and quits.

It's so nearly what I want - the reliability factor is just missing.

Luckily I am still in the testing phase and have not laid out any cash yet.
I am going to contact my sales rep and request that I get the latest build to see it that helps with the problem.

I'm not shelling out for this software for 4 Servers when I have images that are useless in a disaster recovery scenario!
