ĪFter 12 tib files have been retained, a new full (backup #13) will occur causing the 12 quota to be exceeded, "STore 2 recent verson chains" will retain 12 backups (2 chains x 6 files per chain). A new full will occur every 7th backup upon the prior completion of 6 backups. Your proposed backup scheme will work like this.ġ Full plus 5 incrementals equals 6 backups per chain. One folder can have many sub-folders with each sub-folder dedicated to a different task. Each new task is to be have its own individual name and storage location. When task configuration changes needed, stop using the problem task and create a new task with a different name and point storage to a differenet folder or sub-folder. I recommend you avoid the edit-except may for scheduling changes. In my opinion, the editing of a task is one of the biggest causes of problems with backup management. Backups are anywhere between 40-600GB per Workstation. Its a small office so the network cables are all under 20 meters in length. LAN, ethernet, Cat5e, 100mbps network, all computers are connected to the same 24 port D-Link switch (non managed). 10+ Workstations (ranging between Intel Core 2 Duo with 3GB RAM to Intel Core i5 with 4GB RAM) 1 Windows 2003 Server running on a Dell PowerEdge, Intel Xeon X3450 2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, Backup drive is a Seagate External 3TB USB Drive

All computers running Acronis True Image 2014 Premium, Build 6673 I erased backup settings and re-created them twice so far, on all the workstations, and it keeps happening. As a result i have to constantly babysit backups and aren't even sure i can trust them. I know for a fact this feature can work fine as i have used it in other offices i provide IT services for with the exact same version and build of Acronis True Image 2014, under the same type of environment.Ī couple of the computers do work fine, but most have issues.

To clarify, by hang i mean the backup process keeps running saying "Consolidating" and never finalizes. Also for those that have kept more than 5, i tried on a couple of them to set "Number of backup versions exceeds" to 2, and in this case it also hangs on the "Consolidating" stage. Now the problem i am having is that some computers are still keeping more than 5 backups, and others hang on the "Consolidating" stage at the end of the backup process. I have set "Number of backup versions exceeds" to 5 as to not fill up the backup drive, since it does not seem to be removing the old backups by itself (which i had previously selected). I've been having issues with the "Automatic Consolidation" settings when using "Incremental" "Disk Backup".
