Symptoms

You created Acronis Rescue media on a Mac.

When you attempt to back up the machine with macOS using rescue media, the Backup option is not available. Only recovery can be performed.

Cause

The current product design does not support backing up macOS using bootable media. 

This applies to all types of bootable media: ISO downloaded from the website, bootable media created under macOS, bootable media created under Windows or Linux.

You set up a backup plan of Windows machine(s) with Policy Rules: [Disk 0] in Items for backup.

Backup fails with errors similar to:

Cannot resolve inclusion rule '[Disk 0]'.

Disk 0 has not been found while processing the 'Disk by number' template

  1. You create a backup using Version 12 format.
  2. An operation with archive (e.g. applying retention rules) fails with the error message

    Failed to lock the file

Symptoms

You are backing up data to QNAP NAS.

When the activity is almost complete, it fails with:

The credentials for location are not specified

Cause

Outdated NAS firmware.

Solution

Update NAS firmware to the latest version.

If the issue reproduces with the latest version of firmware, collect system information from the affected agent machine, details about NAS(model, firmware version) and contact Acronis Support.

 

You have installed Acronis Backup Cloud agent for SQL and created a backup plan for a SQL instance.

After agent update to Build 24600 or 24476, Acronis Scheduler randomly generates errors in Windows Event log:

Scheduler failed to run task with GUID '15C608E6-C6BD-4C21-B41C-E10368FDACD8' because of error 2 (Failed to find the file (folder) or the key (value) in the registry.)

GUID is different on each device.

Cause

Issue in the product. Obsolete service tasks are not deleted automatically during update.

Solution

Symptoms

File-level backup fails with:

Fatal protocol error

  2. You install an upgrade to macOS.
  3. When you try to run an incremental backup after macOS upgrade, the operation fails with:

    The last backup has failed. No current partition

Cause

macOS upgrade changed the unique volume identifier for the source disk, while the backup task configuration still refers to the old volume identifier.

Common I/O error.

2) Details of error message in Backup Console (click on the Details button):

Symptoms
