Acronis TIH 11 Failed to prepare data stream
Hi Experts,
I am using Acronis True Image Home 2011 latest build
I keep receiving the below error on scheduled tasks, sometimes the backup runs fine and others the result is as below. However the destination is accessible.
I have configured it on various machines and only happen on 1 or 2.
I have re-created the backup, selected various locations, attempted HDD and Secure zone. As Acronis instruct I turned off the consolidation and still nothing.
I have been unable to find any further information anywhere else.
1 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:01 PM Operation My partitions backup started.
2 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:02 PM Analyzing partition '0-0'...
3 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:02 PM Analyzing partition '1-1'...
4 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:02 PM Analyzing partition 'C:'...
5 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:03 PM Analyzing partition '1-3'...
6 Information 11/2/2011 11:00:03 PM Analyzing partition 'F:'...
7 Error 11/2/2011 11:00:04 PM Failed to prepare data stream. Check whether the source and target partitions exist.
10 Error 11/2/2011 11:00:04 PM Operation has completed with errors.
Look forward to reading your comments.

hello.
there is an interesting conversation going on here http://forum.acronis.com/forum/16258 about the same issue.
one of the participants stated that it might have to do with ati software.i doubt that but it could be the case.
where are you trying to backup? a usb disk? have you tried using another hdd (non usb)?
please feed back

Hi Stergium,
I am backing up the machine with all the partitions to a secure zone on an external USB disk.
As this error has not occurred when a task is manually run and happens on multiple machines, but not all. I belive that it could be a problem with the software, but it seems Acronis have left that discussion.

First of all check the partitions with CHKDSK as analyzing could mean - reading data bitmap by VSS. And if it could not read it due to errors in file system or on HDD surface then this error could occur.
Hi Noxcho,
A disk check cannot be performed on a secure zone. However on the remainder of the partition was tested successfully.

It is connected via powered USB hub. The only other partition that is backed up is the recovery. Also the backup failed and 30 minutes later I ran it; it worked fine. Schedule the backup later and it fails when scheduled.

Can you take a screen shot if Windows Disk Management and load it here? I would like to have a look on your current partitioning scheme.
Hi Noxcho,
I'm not sure if you are familiar with how Acronis partitions the drive but it takes a section that you designate and secures it for backups only. This being said I have also tested the backup procedure with a normal windows partition and experience the same issue.
If you still require I can provide a screen shot.
Thanks.

Yes, this is Secure Zone. They format it into Protected Fat or Ext file system (linux). But this shall affect the backup target disk only.
Another case could be the buggy software. For it is like a tradition that newly released software by Acronis has bugs. The same was with TI2008, 2009, 2010 (this one totally ruined my Windows and data) and 2011. The story continues I think with 2012. In 1 year the version becomes stable with various updates and SPs.

Hi Noxcho,
It is currently in protected Fat, so a manual backup is required.
It is strange as it does not happen in all environments.

Hi noxcho,
No the secure zone is not being backed up, but have a found a solution that I tested on one machine and won’t know for a week if it has been fixed, but anyone who is having issues should try the following kb article.

Its the only thing the machines have in common. I am speaking with Acronis now to see what they come up with.
Will get back shortly.
