Parallels Plesk 9.2 Acronis module bug – atismodbackupmng process is running

August 19th, 2009 · 1 Comment

It apparently took Parallels support over a month to work out that there was actually a bug in this module… it appears they even charged the people for support who brought the bug to their attention:

Scheduled jobs came back with:

> Error: another atismodbackupmng process is running!
> TrueImage backup task #2

Apply the hack to their Plesk code fixed the issue… until next Plesk upgrade no doubt.

    There is a bug with the Aconis module with Plesk 9.2.1 for Linux (Ubuntu 8.04).

    Scheduled jobs come back with:

    > Error: another atismodbackupmng process is running!
    > TrueImage backup task #2

    And yes, the same problem happens with the following work around:
    http://kb.parallels.com/en/6248

    A ticket was opened with Parallels support regarding this and it took over a month to get resolved, so, I’m posting this to help some other poor soul who may have to deal with the software, or, support team. Also, I wouldn’t want someone else to get charged for a workaround from their support team.

    The issue had been caused by incorrect way Acronis True Image Module determines if another task is already running.

    Support applied the following hack:
    “As for now I have applied following solution in order to remedy the problem — now scheduled tasks are properly executed:
