Backup validation keeps getting turned off (unconfigured)

Thread needs solution

I am trying to configure TI2013 (on Win7 Professional) to run weekly validations but it keeps getting turned off; i.e., the setting doesn't stick.

Basic steps to re-create:
- Configure a weekly backup
- TI Event Log displays "Option 'validate backup regularly' is turned on."
- Exit TI console, re-enter TI console, confirm validate setting is still there
- Wait a few days

The validation does not take place as scheduled, or if it does it is not shown in the TI Event Log. Furthermore, weekly validation is no longer configured.

Has anyone seen this? Thoughts on a workaround?

Regards, Steve

Steve,

There is a known problem with this build, in saving as a default customised options. I don't think any one has reported an actual single task not saving options though.

There have also been problems (historically) including the validation as part of the task. I would suggest making a separate task to run as a validation once a week.

You would know if the validation has taken place as TI will run upto 3 times as long as when just making an image.

Colin,

Thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try.

Question: How do I schedule a validation task independent of my backup job? I couldn't find anything in the docs. I tried to configure another backup job that didn't have any sources but that didn't work.
