Acronis 12.5 Verify TIBX files at later date
Good Day
Trying to figure out how to verify a backup at a later date. Under Acronis 11.7, you an run a verify job; but can't seem to find the same option under Acronis 12.5
Any Ideas?

Hi Maria,
Don't have the advance version.
Any idea/detail on why this base feature, available in Workstation 11.7 std and all earlier versions, was pay-gated (disabled/removed?) as of 12.x?
Its kind of a base feature (sort of like Zip with out test option) which has been with every version of Acronis since I started using/recommending it (Believe back in 2005 with TI echo)?
I've seen issues with workstations being shut down mid verify, network drops, power outages, disk errors causing data issues (especially with archival backups) and other strange things which warrant the ability to validate a backup at a later date.
Even the latest "Less-er hamstrung" home version of Acronis 2019, doesn't have this restriction with validate being available..
Seems like nothing more than a cash grab to charge extra for a base functionality which is already in the system and available after a backup.
Sincerely
Paul

On a side note. Any idea how long Acronis 11.x will be supported for?

Hello Paul,
By analogy with Acronis True Image 2019, in Acronis Backup 12.5 you can navigate to Backups -> Locations -> select the backup location -> click Show backups on the right pane -> select the required backup -> click on the gear icon -> Validate.
Validate option is also available in Command-line utility for archives and backups
In order to schedule the backup validation, we recommend that you Enable the Validate option in backup options
