Hello, how are you performing the backup validation?

There are two methods for doing this manually, one is via Windows / File Explorer and right-clicking on the .TIB image file and selecting True Image, then Validate - this can be useful if you are changing the destination disk drives for your backup task.

The second method of validation is from within the Acronis GUI where you click on (V) next to the task name and select Validate from there - this may fail if you are using more than one destination disk drive with the task as each drive has an unique drive identifier that is recorded in the task.

If you are performing a scheduled validation from the backup task and have changed the destination disk drive then I would expect this to fail because the drive is no longer connected.
