Validate backup on NAS takes a long time

Thread needs solution

I have a couple computers running TI 2013, backing up to a Synology 1812+ NAS. The backups run pretty quick, but validation takes forever.
For example, the differential backup this morning ran from 9:10 to 9:24, but then the validation did not finish until 5:09, so pretty much 8 hours.

On Monday a 5 minute differential backup took 2 and a half hours to complete
I am going to have to turn validate off, which I don't want to do. Any ideas on a Solution?
Thanks

IIRC, telling ATI to validate an archive causes it to validate all archives in the folder. If there are several archives in the folder, that can indeed take considerable time.

Many users have had issues with NAS, not because of Acronis but because the router gets overloaded with data throughput and cannot keep a consistent enough connection with the NAS for True Image to image or restore. That might possibly be a factor in your case, causing validation to be slower than usual.

Thanks for the quick response.
Yes there are a couple backups in that directory. 1 backup of 365 GB with 4 differentials of 4GB each, and then the full and 1 differential from the new set.
I have copied these first set to a different directory.
Any way to tell Acronis to only validate the backup it just did rather than everything else?
These computers are running Gig ethernet plugged into a HP Gig switch, port are all running at GB with FDX.

Is there a way to have Acronis create a new directory whenever it starts a new backup set after it hits the 5 backups to a set limit that I set?

I am pretty impress with the Synology NAS for speed, I often see 400+Mbs transfers

Would the Acronis workstation 11.5 version of the product help at all? I would buy it if there was something there that helped.

Thanks

To answer your query about starting a new folder, have a look at the batchfile utility called Chaingen. Have a look at item #5 in Grover's Guides, link in the left hand margin of this forum.

Validation with ABR11.5 won't be much faster, you could install the trial version of ABR11.5 and see if there is an improvement in speed, but it can't read True Image files, so you would have to make a complete new archive. ABR11.5 doesn't make new folders on a full either, but it does have a command line utility. I haven't checked but it might be possible to do what you want that way.
