Comparison ATI2015 & 2016 - Differential Backups of Personal Folders!
Hi,
I have been evaluating ATI 2016, and observed a difference with differential backups of my personal folders.
Occasionally, with 2016, the automatic validation processes, detects an error, usually a missing file.
If I now immediately perform a manual validation, I have observed that after validation, ATI starts another differential backup, automatically, and the subsequent automatic validation confirms a successful backup.
Given that validation process is supposed to validate all backups in a chain, I'm a little confused on why it does not detect an error, on the differential backup, which it previously reported an error.
I have not observed this sequence of events, with 2015!
The big questions are:
(1) Can I now assume all backups in the chain are successful!
(2) Since the most recent differential backup, is essentially a duplicate of the previous differential backup, can I safely delete the earlier differential backup, which the validation showed an error
Appreciate comments, or an explanation
