Acronis hangs up on backup

We have couple customers that are using Acronis True image software to backup data to our ftp site. Acronis hangs up on 99%, on these sites. And it won't start at the next day, unless you reboot your server/workstation were Acronis is installed.

What could cause this problem? We have the same problem on three different sites, with two TrueImageServer Echo and one TrueImageWorkstation.

 

Hello matarvai,

Thank you for your post.

When the backup is saved on FTP server there are several limitations and recommendations you should take into account. Here are they:
- FTP-server must allow passive mode for file transfers;
- it is recommended that you change the source computer firewall settings to open ports 20 and 21 for both TCP and UDP protocols;
- it is also recommended to disable the Routing and Remote Access Windows service on the source computer.
So please check them and try to save backups with the recommended settings. Please make sure also that the computers under consideration have the latest builds of the respective Acronis software on them.

Thank you

I have latest builds, FTP-server allows passive transfers and source computers don't have firewall, but I will the routing and remote access settings and check if that helps.

 

Routing and Remote Access Windows service isn't enabled on source workstation. It is disabled, and still I cannot use backup.

Problem seem to be with ftp server. When we created new ftp server with different software backup started to work.

 

New ftp server didn't help. With small backup files it works, but when we create larger files it will hang up and doesn't create backup.

 

Hello matarvai,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

We are sorry for delayed response.

Please notice that the build (8115) of Acronis True Image Echo was recently released. To get access to updates you should first register your software. Please don't forget to update all installed components as they need to be the same build in order to interact properly.

If the latest build doesn't solve the problem, please collect some information to let us investigate it thoroughly:

Please collect the application log of the operation:
- run the program;
- select Show log on the toolbar or from the Tools menu;
- select the corresponding log;
- click "Save the log entry to file" (the diskette icon).

Then submit a request for technical support. Attach all the collected files and information to your request along with the step-by-step description of the actions taken before the problem appears and the link to this thread. We will do our best to investigate the problem and provide you with a solution.

Thank you.

Problem solved, using other software for sending images to data center, using acronis as backup and recovery and 3rd party file transfer software.
