validating a backup, file strange results
I have read through the posts, if this is covered then I am sorry, but I was not able to find it.
when I try to valid a image, I am getting a interesting resort, then it gets to 95% or below 30 secs to complation, the counter jumps from 30 secs to somthing like 2345days, 24 hours , and 23 secs.
I am able to mouth the drive, or view the contents of this image,
I havn't tryed a restore of the image as I don't have a space Hard Drive at the moment but this is at the top of my list to do.
has anyone else had this problem ?
I am using True Image Home 11
Hi GroverH.
I am new to this, I have only had one good Vilidation of a Image, but when I return to do a test Vaildation, or test the vaildation after a new backup, I am getting this result.
when this happens I have left the vailding alone for 30 mins, and on my return it is still running. so I stop it by hand cos my thinking is that the vailding has failed and gotten confused.
You may or may not have a problem. How big is the image you are validating? Allow at least 1 minute per gigabyte of image size for the validation if you are doing it in Windows - that should be plenty unless you have a real slow system. If you are booting the TI rescue CD and validating then allow double that. The rescue CD is Linux and sometimes the drivers aren't a good fit for the hardware.
Note that if you are validating an archive in the Acronis Secure Zone, I think it validates all images there (can't really remember for sure). If you are validating an incremental image the whole archive, not just the last incremental is validated.
Hello Seekforever
answers to your Question.
My Image is 113gb in size and I did a FULL backup of the hard disc Partition, and I am trying to Validated via windows.
the spec of my Laptop or Computer are both very High, Core Due 2.3ghz CPU, Both has 4GB, I will try again to valid my image tonight when I get home,
My Image is on a USB 2 External Hard Drive, both I will try both "once on the External and again with the image on the local drive.
Since it is 113GB, I'd just let it run longer and if it completes then check the log to see how long it took. I can see it taking longer than a half hour.
The USB image will take a lot longer since it is throttled by the 480Mbps theoretical maximum rate of the USB2 connection regardless of the other hardware. Your internal drives are probably theoretical 3 Gbps SATA drives which are about 6 times faster. These theoretical numbers don't have much bearing on real-life other than to show one device is theoretically a lot faster than another.
