True Image 9.1.3854 Will not run incremental backups.

[sarcasm] First of all I have to say thanks to the tech I talked to on the phone that I explained this to who told me he would call me back or email me with the solution within an hour. That was a week ago! Seems to be the trend though. Glad I spent $12,000 with you guys! [/sarcasm]

Anyways... I can't get TI 9.1 to run incremental backups for some reason. It wants to run all of our backups in Full Mode.

Here is an example of a completed job from one of our servers. What else can I do? I have upgraded to the latest version and completely uninstalled according to tech support's request many times with no help. Also I have deleted the job and added it again just to make sure. The job has a quota to run 1 full and 6 incremental.

Here is a log:

Bump!!! Still happening!!! I'm running out of disk space here people!!!

 

I guess the sarcastic approach doesn't get me too far??!!

Sorry... I just want it to work and have tried everything I know to do.

 

Hi,

I'm not fond of the backupserver approach.

Did u try specifying a network disk instead?

Did u make sure of what quotas you put on your backup server, that it doesnt try and protect the full backup for some reason?

All things Acronis worked beautifully for us until database corruption caused me to have to reinstall and configure everything. (per Acronis tech Support)

Our setup is as follow:

1- Dedicated Backup Server w/ 4.5TB Dell MD1000 connected via SSCI(this is the default backup location viewable as a network share with all the proper permissions)
9- Servers with remote agents that backup to the MD1000 lump of disks.

I have never had success with Group Server backups so I have an individual nightly task scheduled for all 9 servers. My quotas are to allow unlimited sized backups and unlimited number of backups. We do 6 incrementals for each full and we keep them for 25 days.

This worked beautifully before the complete gut and reinstall.

Acronis is great when it is fully functional, but it can have some serious quirks that are almost impossible to fix sometimes.

Was this any help? Any suggestions? I don't mind approaching my backup scheme with another method.
