Solution



A few general steps you can take before collecting system information and contacting the Acronis Technical Support team are the following.



- Run the Acronis connection verification command line tool to ensure that your on-premises installation has full connectivity to the Acronis Cloud. You can find details about installing and using the tool at https://kb.acronis.com/content/47678. The tool does not work for accounts with 2-factor authentication enabled; please temporary disable 2FA. Check the report of the tool and see whether all hosts were successfully accessed. If there are any problems the tool will tell you on which port the connection failed.
