4.7.9 Error handling
These options are effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and bootable media.
These options enable you to specify how to handle errors that might occur during backup.
Do not show messages and dialogs while processing (silent mode)
The preset is: Disabled.
With the silent mode enabled, the program will automatically handle situations requiring user
interaction (except for handling bad sectors, which is defined as a separate option). If an operation
cannot continue without user interaction, it will fail. Details of the operation, including errors, if any,
can be found in the operation log.
Re-attempt, if an error occurs
The preset is: Enabled. Number of attempts: 30. Interval between attempts: 30 seconds.
When a recoverable error occurs, the program re-attempts to perform the unsuccessful operation.
You can set the time interval and the number of attempts. The attempts will be stopped as soon as
the operation succeeds OR the specified number of attempts are performed, depending on which
comes first.
For example, if the backup destination on the network becomes unavailable or not reachable, the
program will attempt to reach the destination every 30 seconds, but no more than 5 times. The
attempts will be stopped as soon as the connection is resumed OR the specified number of attempts
is performed, depending on which comes first.
If Acronis Cloud Storage is selected as the primary, the second, or a further backup location, the option value is
automatically set to Enabled. Number of attempts: 300, regardless of the default value.
