  Error: An error has occurred. Please try again later or contact support.

  Access to the extension is possible, but no data is shown and the same error appears when trying to access the backup console from the extension's interface.

• Acronis backup log file /usr/local/psa/var/modules/acronis-backup/srv/log/main.log contains following records:

• The following error occurs on attempt to start a backup from the Backup Console directly:

  Backup doesn't start:
  Backup failed
  None of the items selected for backup were found.
  Device example.com
  Plan name webcp
  What to back up Entire machine
  Where to back up

• Log in to cloud.acronis.com works correctly

Cause

The issue happens because a token used for communication with Acronis cloud was marked as 'expired' and then revoked on the cloud side.
This happened because there were no calls from the extension UI to the cloud for a week.

Resolution

Register the server once again with the following steps:

1. Log in to Backup Console directly via cloud.acronis.com

2. Delete the affected Plesk Server from the console (backups will not be deleted):

   

3. Connect to the server via SSH

4. Execute the following command and type the Acronis username and password when requested:

   # printf "ACRONIS LOGINnUser: "; read USER; printf "Password: n"; read -s PASS; /usr/lib/Acronis/RegisterAgentTool/RegisterAgent -o register -t cloud -a https://cloud.acronis.com -u $USER -p $PASS
