BA86: This backup job uses a Cloud Backup add-on license that will expire

Error code Product Applies to
BA86 BackupAssist For BackupAssist v9.2.3 or later

Description

This error can occur if you have installed BackupAssist Desktop, and are using Cloud Backup features.

The Cloud Backup license expiry warnings begin 15 days before the trial period ends. Once the trial ends, rsync and Cloud Backup jobs will stop working unless you purchase a Cloud Backup license (see Resolution).

Resolution

To continue using Cloud Backup after the trial expires, you will need to install BackupAssist Desktop with Cloud Backup. Standard BackupAssist Desktop licenses do not support Cloud Backup.

Alternatively, you can purchase a full BackupAssist base license plus the Cloud Backup Add-on, or you can purchase the Cloud Backup Standalone license, which provides Cloud Backup as well as additional server-grade features.
