Error When I Validate the Backup

Thread needs solution

Hello,

There's no way I can backup my hard drives. I select a disk with partition as Source (e.g. C:/) and I specify to make a backup image on a USB 3.0 external hard drive.

Under Advanced options I choose to validate the backup at the end of the process. It usually takes 2 hours to backup the disk, then it requires one hour more to validate it, and during validation it says that the backup is corrupted and it might be possible to recover some files.

I've already tried it a couple of times with C:/ and with another internal hard disk; I get this error during validation process all the time.

Any idea? 

 

Thanks

Most likely this is caused by a hardware problem somewhere. The following article discusses the problem and how to troubleshoot.

Understanding Image Verification Failures

Try to do the validation some time after the backup has completed. We have seen cases where the backup+validation would fail the validation, but the backup would validate separately without issues.

Hey, how can I validate a backup? I only see scheduled validations, is there a way to just select a backup and do the validation?

Right click  on the task name and option to validte will be visible.

Thanks I will try it soon
