Strike two on Acronis trial

I've read lots of great stuff about True Image so I decided to give it a try. I'm trialling version 10 on Vista Home premium. First problem is that it won't backup windows mail - technical support is trying to help on this. My second problem is this:

I've set up a daily incremental backup. The program has also been setup to email me when it has finished the backup - success or fail. The first day was a full backup (of course) and all went well. Second day was the first incremental and that went ok too. Third day the backup started but never finished. All I got was an email to say the backup failed but the log file did not report any errors. In fact the log file stopped after this entry:

"Create Incremental Backup Archive
From:Applications and Data Categories
To:J: \Acronis\
Compression:Normal
Exclude:Files matching mask
Match criterion:*.bak, *.~, *.tmp,
Ask for the first media:No"

I really need reliability in my backup procedure. Anyone have any thoughts as to why it aborted?

 

Well I just manually kicked of the job and it worked flawlessly. i don't know why it failed in auto mode?
