Let’s go through the troubleshooting steps required to fix the errors like a pro.

1.       Error code A2261

As aforementioned the error occurs when your Norton online backup account runs out of storage space. It also indicates that the backup you have performed was unsuccessful. To get rid of this, you need to do the whole backup process all over again. Just make sure that this task accomplishes without any error. In the first case (Storage space issue), do the following: 

Solution- Buy more storage space (valid only if you have a licensed version of Norton Online Backup installed on your device. If you are using a trial version, go for a paid one first)

For the latter, follow these steps:

Solution 1- Exclude or keep out some of least significant folders or files from the backup set

ð  To do this, simply deselect the files or folders or manually adding all the important files in the backup set

Solution 2- Remove some of the less important files that are already saved in the Norton Online Backup account

If you are unable to do this, contact  Norton Setup  on their toll-free number.

2.       Error Code A2047

The occurrence of this error indicates the probability of the other tasks running at the scheduled timeframe. You don’t need to put much effort to troubleshoot this error as it will get fixed automatically before you initiate your next backup. If it still persists, change the scheduled backup to run a different timeframe.
