Can't back up to external

Before activating Acronis secure zone, I was able to back up images or folders to my external hdd. Now, it won't do it. I set up the task just fine, but when the scheduled time comes no back up occurs. I also manually start the back up, but again nothing happens. It currently says "queued" and won't change from that. If I set the destination to the secure zone the back up runs fine. What gives?

 

Hello lubedkoala,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

What is the exact title of Acronis software and the build number?

Thank you.

I am using Acronis True Image Home 2009. Build 9646

 

I setup the back up once again. This time for the scheduling, I selected do not schedule. After finishing the setup it gave me an error stating that the schedule was not supported or something like that. I pressed ok and the back up began to proceed.

 

Hello lubedkoala,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

I have sent a file to you, please install the file and see if the issue remains.

Thank you.

I'll let you know if it works.

 

Didn't work. When setting up the schedule, no matter what I do it says "Error: incorrect repetition period" below the scheduling options. I did notice that "upon event" and "periodically" were the only two schedule options that did not show an error. Backing up to an external will not work unless I chose "do not schedule."

Just noticed this, when I select "add to existing backup" and I chose the backup on the acronis secure zone I had, it doesn't work. Just sits on a status of "queued." Won't start when manually told to do so either. I had to chose "create new backup" for it to work, but again it only backs up to the secure zone and no external HDD when any kind of schedule is set.

I can only hope the restore process will work in time of need

 

Hello lubedkoala,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

- Download the file;
- 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 scheduled tasks on the PC. Manage your tasks from the scratch and see if the issue remains.

Thank you.

Please see this thread, especially the last posting.

I heard that in the latest build (English version only) the bug is solved.

EDIT:
Forgot the link

 

Please see what thread? This one that I started or another one?

 

I apologize for my mistake. Forgot the link
I add it in my previous posting...

 

Thanks I'll check it out

 

It did not work. It still says "error: incorrect repetition period" at the bottom of the schedule. Anything being backed up to an external must be set to "do not schedule."

 

Hello lubedkoala,

Thank you for your interesting in Acronis True Image

Did you install the latest build (9709) of the program? You can download the latest builds from your account under Registered Products.

Also check the following. Please make sure that Acronis Scheduler2 Service (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services) Startup Type is set to Automatic. Otherwise, please set it to Automatic yourself and reboot your computer.

Best regards,

Looks like the new build fixed it. I can backup to my external on a schedule now. No longer get "incorrect repetition period" errors showing during the scheduling options either.

Thank you Acronis support team!
