How to handle
Identify the tasks that need interaction (the program will
display what action is needed) -> Stop the tasks or enable
the tasks to run (change media; provide additional space
on the vault; ignore the read error; create the missing
Acronis Secure Zone).
No action is required.
Waiting for condition. This situation is quite normal, but
delaying a backup for too long is risky. The solution may be
to set the maximum delay or force the condition (tell the
user to log off, enable the required network connection.)
Waiting while another task locks the necessary resources.
A one-time waiting case may occur when a task start is
delayed or a task run lasts much longer than usual for
some particular reason and this way prevents another task
from starting. This situation is resolved automatically when
the obstructing task comes to an end. Consider stopping a
task if it hangs for too long to enable the next task to start.
Persistent task overlapping may result from an incorrectly
scheduled plan or plans. It makes sense to edit the plan in
this case.
No action is required.
No action is required.
How to handle
Identify the failed tasks -> Check the tasks log to find out the
reason of the failure, then do one or more of the following:
•
Remove the reason of the failure -> [optionally] Start
the failed task manually
•
Edit the local plan to prevent its future failure in case a
local plan has failed
•
Edit the backup policy on the management server in
case a centralized plan has failed
When creating a backup plan or policy the administrator can
turn on the option to stop executing the backup plan as
soon as the backup plan gets the Error status. The backup
