TrueImage 2009 - Can't add any scheduled backups

I just upgraded to TrueImage 2009 from TrueImage 11.
In TrueImage 2009, I can't seem to add any scheduled backups.
I can go through all the steps to create a scheduled backup without any errors, but no schedules would should up in the Scheduled tasks tab.
I have uninstall and reinstall TrueImage2009 several time!

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Have you tried making schedules, and then either clicking into a different option with TI (one that requires a screen redraw) and then back onto the schedules tab or close TI and re-open?

I had a couple of occasions where 2009 didn't update it's database on screen immediately, but the above forced it to.

Just tried going to different options in TI and it still doesn't show any schedules in the Scheduled tasks tab.

 

One thing you might try is uninstalling, running the cleanup tool and then reinstalling 12 without 11 being installed first. There is a known issue where the Task manager gets wonky if task from ATI11 are present -- so maybe something in the 11 install if goofing up 12. If that doens't work, then it's probably just a bug in 12 and you should contact Tech support.

 

I have tried to run the Acronis Cleanup Tool to clean up all previous TI installations. However, the clean up tool will cause my windows XP to not boot and luckily I was able to select the Last Known Good Configuration and my windows will boot. This has happened on 2 computers I tried to run the clean up tools on. I contacted Acronis for support through email and it's been 5 days with no response!

 

I have the exact same issue on 2 systems (XP and Vista).
I have created 2 scheduled tasks and they do not run. Even in the calendar, they do not show up as blue blocks. The green and red blocks show up OK tho.

btw I updated to the latest release of 9615

 

Some definite bugginess in ATI12/2009 with the Task editor; I've reported some variation on this prob.

We'll see if they issue a working unit before ATI13 comes around. Meanwhile, it's ATI12/2009 is not ready for general release -- it's still essentially beta even though ACronis is selling it as if it's ready for public release.

 

Same/similar issue for me. I uninstalled v8 of Acronis True Image, rebooted, installed 2009, rebooted, and tried to create a daily task. It didn't show up in the scheduler, so I created a second one (no show), then a third one (again no show), which I set to run immediately. After the third one ran, still none would show up in the scheduler. All three were scheduled to run at 11pm. This morning I found that the fist task had actually ran, but it showed an error. I canceled it, and the second task started running, which I also canceled, and guess what, the third one ran, and I canceled it too. After poking different dates on the calendar, clicking "today", "show all scheduled task", and other random things, the schedules briefly showed up (with the dates colored blue). I deleted the first, but the schedules (and the blue) all disappeared and I could never get them back.

A little later I went into the Windows Task Manager and noticed that TrueImage.exe was at 50% CPU utilization (dual core processor) and observed this memory usage pattern: start under 100,000KB (sometimes as low as 30,000), climb (over a period of about one minute) to over 500,000KB, quickly fall back to under 100,000. This cycle repeats endlessly. It creates a nice saw-tooth pattern in the page file usage history graph (something like: /|/|/|/|/|/|/|). When I close True Image the process stays running until it hits the next memory peak, then it terminates.

I uninstalled 2009, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, and tried to create a new daily task. Towards the end of the setup process before I submitted it, I noticed the memory problem kick back in. Again the task didn't appear, but the three old tasks (the ones I had created before reinstalling) now showed up as unscheduled tasks. I deleted them and their logs.

Any ideas? Memory leak related to scheduling or displaying the schedules? Problem caused by having the old version?

 

try this guys.
I haven't tried it yet - I'm at work, but I'll let you know if it worked for me. Also make sure you have the latest build

This did not fix my problem of the scheduled tasks not showing up, but the memory leak seems to have disappeared. TrueImage.exe now stays under 65,000KB or so.

Anyone still having this problem?
