Validation success or failure?
When I validate my backups I get a success message.
When I look at the log created however I get the following.
Message: Operation has succeeded.
Module: 100
Error (Code): 6 (0x640006)
So, what does the error code mean and was the backup/validation successful?
A search for 0x640006 gave no results, so I presume this is not answered elsewhere.
Thanks,
Clive
When I just completed a new full backup, it reported success. However when I tried to run a validation, I received the error shown on the attached message. I using True Image Home 2009
Hello all,
Thank you for using Acronis Products
Please check the following thread to find solution for validation error after successful backup.
Here is the full log:
Note that I can open the archives and restore files.
It is very confusing to get both a "Success" message and an "Error" code.

I gather you have both successes and failures when validating. It failed previously but worked the time that generated the above log.
It can be marginal hardware or a bad sector on the drive storing the archive.
It is often possible to restore various files from an archive that will not validate. This is because the validation for an image restoration entails validating the entire archive. The validation when restoring selected files does not do this and I presume only validates the blocks that contain the contents of the files being restored.
Generally the least problematic place to store an archive when it is being created is to an internal HD. Ideally it should be stored to a different partition but TI will let you store it on the same partition as being imaged (space permitting) - it will warn you. If you create an image to an internal HD and validate it successfully several times then it is a clue that your problem likely lies with the external drive/USB interface system.

No.
This is the log (like all the others) that gives a message of
"Operation has succeeded."
but
In the GUI log status bar it says:
Message: Operation has succeeded.
Module: 100
Error (Code): 6 (0x640006)
So, what do I believe, the message or the error code?

I'd say the message and it could be that history is repeating itself. Have a look at this thread from TI9, 3 years ago. Seems I got involved is something similar back then too.

I just went and had a look at my TI2009. Clicking on the Operation Succeeded line in the log listing of some validations showed the same error code 6 stuff at the bottom of the screen. I'd say the error code is really a status code.

Just read the thread you directed me to.
I think your conclusion is correct and it would appear that no one has bothered to make this (trivial) change to the product yet.
Thanks!

Well, I too am having an Issue with TI Home 2009. I had originally made several Images of my C:Drive just after I built my computer with 6 HDD's, 3 WD 150GB Raptor's in RAID-0 where the C: Drive is, 2 WD 35GB Raptors in RAID-0 for Pagefile and Downloading Content, 1 WD 500GB where my tib. Backup files were originally created. I have 2 Full Backup's and 1 Incremental all made with a previous version of TI back in 2007 using the Boot from CD Method. I, since then have lost that original TI CD I had from 2007, so I bought TI Home 2009 recently. After successfully installing TI Home 2009, I skipped the One-Click backup since I already had tib. image files of my clean C: Drive. Then when I went to Validate, like an idiot I double clicked the tib. file instead of Right Clicking & Scrolling to "Validate". The window showing you the choice of Restore...Validate immediately appeared, but did so in conjunction with Widows Search Indexing popping up. Then everything froze!! I couldn't click on anything within the TI screen. Before I figured that the Widows Search Indexing probably took precedent over whatever command I entered via double clicking the tib. file, I panicked, hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to see that TI was using 50%+ of the CPU and perhaps erroneously concluded that TI may have been going through with the "Restore" Process instead of the Validate process. SO, I restarted my computer successfully, so I deduced that TI didn't automatically Restore but instead was probably waiting for Windows Search to complete indexing,OOPS!! So now, when I go to validate the tib. file I want to ultimately restore to my C:Drive, the same tib. file that I interrupted during the Windows Search Indexing by Restarting my computer, it tells me that there are errors on both the Full Backup and the incremental that I want to Restore. I still have my very 1st Backup tib. file that I Validated after the above fiasco and yes, you guessed it, it validated with no problems. But being that the successive Full Backup and Incremental backup were made after the installation of several programs and hardware additions including the IntelRAID Matrix, I would very much like to Restore these instead of the original 1st Full Back up (Which TI has Validated successfully).
Is there any way to delete the Validation that TI has stored and reported as a corrupt due to my shutting down my computer during the windows search indexing process?? I mean the tib. file that I originally created with TI in boot from CD mode and stored on a separate SATA HDD should be intact, right?
I guess I could boot from the TI Home 2009 CD and try validating again, but shouldn't I be able to start over in Windows??

I have never used the database TI 2009 creates. I name my own backups and just browse to the ones I want to validate or restore. I don't even know if the fact a validate failed will interfere with subsequent validatations, if fact, I don't think it does.
I would boot the rescue CD and try the validate. If it works then you are good to go since this is the Linux environment that is used to restore the active partition, even if you start it in Windows. Anytime TI requests a reboot it is loading the Linux recovery environment.
In case you aren't aware, if you attempt to validate an archive that contains incrementals, TI validates the entire archive not just the incremental.
