    3.2. System Report

    Collect System Report from the machine in question: see instruction for Acronis Backup 11.7/11.5 Generating System Report, if this fails for any reason, you can use this AcronisInfo Utility

    3.3. Network Tracing Log

    If this does not help, or if the certificate is not downloaded automatically, ask to close Acronis Backup to Cloud (Acronis Backup & Recovery Online), then reproduce the issue and get Wireshark log. Note that for issues related to Acronis Backup to Cloud (Acronis Backup & Recovery Online) the WireShark (general instructions Collecting PCAP Logs) should be collected in a particular manner. The correct way to collect the WireShark log is the following:
    - start WireShark utility
    - go to I nterfaces - Capture
    - select the necessary interface from the list
    - go to Options

    - in the options, tick "Limit each packet to" and type in 64
    - in Capture Filter type tcp port 443 or tcp port 44445
    - in case you know that backup will not fail immediately, it means WireShark should be executed during some extended time (20 minutes +) it is a good idea to write the information to a file right after start. For this, use the option Capture File (select destination and type in a name of the file)
