Option Fail the backup if the command execution fails is enabled in Plesk > Acronis Management Panel > Backup Console > All devices > example.com > click the gear icon > Backup > click the gear icon > Backup Options > Pre-post data capture command.
Cause
The option Pre-post data capture causes Acronis to run a pre-command which fails, therefore the backup also fails to create.
Resolution
- Log into Plesk > Acronis Management Panel > Backup Console > All devices > Backup Plan name > click the gear icon > Backup > click the gear icon > Backup Options
- Switch to the Pre-post data capture commands tab and disable the option by selecting NO.
- Press DONE to save changes.
- Press SAVE CHANGES to apply the setting for the backup plan.
