IDrive keeps trying to create disk clone

IDrive already created a disk clone and has uploaded it to the cloud, but every time I turn on the computer it tries to do it all over again. I have to cancel it for it to then look for any normal files it needs to upload. How do I get it to stop?

Re: IDrive keeps trying to create disk clone

I've never used Disk Clone but I suspect its designed to be a one off (or not very often) procedure, complimented by normal backups.

Do you have it scheduled to run every day?

Re: IDrive keeps trying to create disk clone

I do have scheduled for every day but can't imagine the clone is supposed to follow that same schedule. It took several days of keeping the computer on for it to finish.

Re: IDrive keeps trying to create disk clone

Isn't there a separate schedule for Clone?

While I was reading the FAQ about it, they seemed to suggest you could schedule Cloning.

If you look in Scheduler and click on "View and manage all scheduled jobs" do you see anything other than Default BackupSet_user?

I'll have to look into it when I get the chance.

Re: IDrive keeps trying to create disk clone

I did see something for the disk drive clone where you indicated. I deleted it. Hoping that will fix the issue.
