Validating 2020 backups is now SO SLOW

Thread solved

My Acronis True Image 2020 backups have recently been taking a VERY long time to VALIDATE. The progress bar shows (say) 20m remaining - but the process will take many HOURS.

Any suggestions please?
I have the latest build 25700 and am running the May 2020 update of Windows 10 Pro. (No disk errors or Windows problems.)

Thanks

Gareth, welcome to these public User Forums.

Unfortunately this is a known issue because validation for the new .tibx backup chains does a validation of all existing chains instead of just validating the most recent chain..

This is being addressed in ATI 2021 (currently in Beta testing) by a new option to allow users to select whether to validate just the most recent chain or all chains.
