True Image 2009 and full backup

I have a task which creates a full image of my C drive. As per the screen instructions, a full backup should overwrite the previous file unless I choose a different criteria. However upon each run, I am getting a new file. I am using the secure zone. Now I have to manually delete the previous image manually.

What am I doing wrong?

 

See this post https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=226287&highlight=image file names

 

Thank you. I now know it is bug.

Has anyone tried the following?

Set the backup as Incremental with a limit of 0 incremental and to delete the original file?

 

I'll partially answer my own question.
I tried using the incremental method described above with only one previous image remaining. The program did create a new backup named as required. However it also renamed the original one as disk_archive. After the next iteration, I will see if it will create a second archive or delete the current one.

I will report back on Tuesday.

 

Did the next pass and the run halted until I answered that it was okay to delete the archive in order to have space.

I will now delete the previous copy manually.

Bottom line, it is still a bug.

 

There is aklso a scheduling issue, if you go back and edit the task to have the correct name, the time for the backup changes from the setting you have back to 12PM, so you need to make sure to change it back. I don't understand why this is such an issue in this iteration of the software. The old versions worked flawlessly. There isn't much sense to have a schedule if you have to edit it each time it runs.

 

In my case, the time of the scheduled task never varied.

 

Hello sunrisecc,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

We are sorry for delayed response.

Could you please clarify, what build of Acronis True Image Home 2009 are you using? Please also clarify, was the task run manually, or on schedule?

Thank you.

Build 9646.

The problem disappeared when the task was run on schedule. However the problem did occur when I would test by running the task manually.

Because the task is a weekly task, I was testing by running the task manually one hour apart and that is when the previous one was not over-written.

Thank you.

 

Hello sunrisecc,

Thank you for your interesting in Acronis True Image

The most probable reason is that there is not enough free space in Acronis Secure Zone. Try to enlarge it and see if the issue persists.

Used space: ~ 26G
Zone: 75G

The problem only happens if I start the task manually. Letting the task run on the automatic schedule, it performs as advertised and overwrites the previous image backup.

 

Hello sunrisecc,

Thank you for your interesting in Acronis True Image

Can you please download the latest build of Acronis True Image Home 2009 (9709) from your account (My Account -> Registered Products) and test it. Then recreate Acronis Secure Zone and see if the issue persists.

I went to the acronis web site and I am still not offered the 9709 update. It does still state that 9646 is available to me.

I will check back later.

 

I am a registered ATI 2009 user and had the same issue.

Just edit the link for "9646" and put in instead "9709". This will work.
Acronis Live chat told me that they are working their way through their customers to fix this. But that was 36 hours ago!

Or if like waiting ages go to Live chat and they will give you the correct link.

 

I did it a different way. I copied the existing link to my editor. Then I edited it to show 9709 instead of 9646 and the edited link in my browser to download the file. It was faster than calling live support.

I found this method in the following topic.

I really do not want to lose what I already have in the ACZ. I also keep my daily data backups there also.

The next cycle is scheduled to run Wed. morning. I will be able to test after that cycle.

 

In all pevious versions of TI a secure zone will survive the installation of a new build. I would hope this still applies to Version 2009.

With respect to my original problem, 9709 has solved the problem. In addition, the Acronis website now offers 9709 to me directly.
