4.2.10 Sequence of operations in a backup plan
If a backup plan contains multiple operations, Acronis Backup performs them in the following order:
1. Cleanup (if configured Before backup) and validation (if cleanup has been performed and
validation is configured to run After the retention rules are applied).
If a backup was moved to a different location during the cleanup, all the operations configured
for the subsequent locations are performed before continuing to the following steps in the
primary location.
2. Pre-backup command execution.
3. Backup:
a. Pre-data capture command execution
b. Snapshot creation
c. Post-data capture command execution
d. Backup process
4. Start of backup cataloging.
Backup cataloging can be a time-consuming process. It is performed in parallel with the following
steps.
5. Post-backup command execution.
6. Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) creation.
7. Conversion to a virtual machine.
8. Backup replication.
9. Cleanup.
If the replication took place, or a backup was moved to a different location during the cleanup, all
the operations configured for the subsequent locations are performed before continuing to the
following steps in the primary location.
10. Validation.
11. Tape media ejection.

4.2.11 Why is the program asking for the password?
A scheduled or postponed task has to run regardless of users being logged on. In case you have not
explicitly specified the credentials, under which the task(s) will run, the program proposes using your
account. Enter your password, specify another account or change the scheduled start to manual.
