Validation Occuring Twice In Same Location
We recently updated to build 10330. Today, I've noticed that our backups plans have been validating twice in the same location. I don't know when this started.
Our backup plans save to two destinations on the same host. For example:
\\backup-server.domain.com\BackupsA\
\\backup-server.domain.com\BackupsB\
Our plans are set to validate backups.
Our plans run and complete successfully, however, after the Copy step where the backup is copied from \\backup-server.domain.com\BackupsA\ to \\backup-server.domain.com\BackupsB\ , the validation begins.
I was watching the server when the validation tasks were running, and I noticed that the first validation step reads from \\backup-server.domain.com\BackupsA\ , as expected.
However, the second validation task also reads from \\backup-server.domain.com\BackupsA\ ! The second location isn't being validated. The second validation task should be reading from \\backup-server.domain.com\BackupsB\ , but it's not. Not only is the second copy not being validated, the first copy is being validated twice for no reason.
Again, I don't know when this behavior started.
The first storage location is a RAID array on a Windows system. The second storage location is a USB 3 HDD on the same Windows system. Both validation tasks are reading the file on the RAID array. There is no read activity during either validation task on the USB 3 HDD.
This is true for existing backup plans and for new ones.
Thanks

Hello Brian,
the sequence of actions in a backup plan should correspond to the following scheme https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisBackup_11.7/#23982.html
> all the operations configured for the subsequent locations are performed before continuing in the primary location.
