Verifying backup takes a very long time
I'm using Acronis True Image 2020 to do a daily backup of my laptop (500 gb + of a 1TB SSD). The daily incremental backup usually takes less than an hour but the verify process can last all night.
Am I doing something wrong? What additional info do you need to address this question?....RDK

Steve....Thanks, I'll turn validation off, and then weekly do a separate validation step.
Was the problem also in the 2019 version? I don't recall having really long running backup (and validation) jobs?
I'll consider taking Acronis' subscription model for TI to get me to 2021 or 2022....RDK

The problem was introduced with ATI 2020, so didn't see it with 2019 and earlier. There is no 2022 version - that has been rebranded as ACPHO with all the bundled antivirus stuff on subscription only.
You should still be able to get a perpetual licensed copy of 2021 on Amazon etc if you want it but it also has the new Cyber Protection stuff bundled and running as background services regardless of all being 'turned off' in the settings!
Personally, I would stay with 2020 and just use validation on demand as needed!
