samango, welcome to these user forums.

Yes, there is a progress bar when validating a backup in ATIH 2017 - see screen shot below.  This is in the same place as the GUI show the progress of other activities.

Thanks Steve. I think my problem is that I was validating separately, after the backup was complete, so no indication appeared in the GUI. But I then discovered that if you hover over the ATH button in the notification area it shows percentage completion. It doesn't show time estimate for completion but it's enough information to take a rough guess.

The screen shot I posted was for a separate validation of one of my existing backups from within the GUI by clicking on the (V) icon next to the task name then on Validate.

You're right. I tried it again and this time the progress bar was there. I don't know what happened the first time. But thanks for your trouble.

A bit late but, when you hover over the ATH icon in the notification tray, if you right click the icon you can change the priority of the validation process from Low to High. That seems to help the speed of validation significantly.
