Last update: 11-05-2021

Symptoms

You have changed a backup location but haven't made changes to the plans. Now you receive daily notifications about failed activities:

Activity failed
Activity 'Refreshing recovery points' failed. The credentials for location '//oldlocation' are not specified.
TROUBLESHOOT
In the protection plan, provide correct credentials for user '{{userName}}' and location '//oldlocation/'.

Cause

The backup location is removed, but its traces are left in DML databases and cache on the Agent side that triggers these notifications.

Solution

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud: this issue has been fixed in Acronis Cyber Cloud 21.04.

Acronis Cyber Protect 15: this issue has been fixed in Update 2 (Build 26981). Please update to the latest build.

As a workaround for the previously deleted vaults, use this script:

  1. On the affected machine(s), download and unpack delete_backup_location.py.
  2. Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
  3. Use this command:
    acropsh delete_backup_location.py
  4. The script lists locations one by one and asks you for a confirmation to remove the location. Confirm removal of old locations, but keep (do not confirm) existing locations.
