No auto-backup listed on email notification.
I took advantage of a recent offer and upgraded from 2018 -working fine- to version 2021.In the setup options I always select 'validate latest version' and under 2018 the email notification always displayed this info.In version 2021 it does not. It just says backup completed.
However,if I load Acronis and select activity the validation is recorded.As I have 5 PC's I don't want to laboriously have to check every morning all of them to confirm what the previous email told me.
Am I missing something??

Ellis, welcome to these public User Forums.
This is a consequence of changes in ATI 2020 and later versions where new .tibx backup archive files have been introduced which in turn use new Backup Worker logs for the detail of the operations, keeping just minimal information in the Demon logs that form the basis of the Notification emails!
The only consolation I can suggest here is that if there was an issue with either the backup or validation operations then this should be indicated in the log and advised via the email. As I never do any scheduled validations or include validation with my own backup tasks, I cannot guarantee that my suggestion is correct!
For me, validation is not worth the extra time it takes as only confirms that the file written by ATI remains the same as when it was written to disk, not that it will be able to be recovered when needed in a week, month or longer period later?
There is a new MVP Assistant log viewer tool that has now been made available by Acronis via the Community Tools page..
If you have Disks & Partitions backups created on ATI 2020 or later using .tibx files, then look in the Backup Worker logs.
If you have Files & Folders backups using .tib files (or Disk backup using same) then look in the Demon logs.
Note: it is possible using the the MVP Assistant tool to connect to the logs on other PC's if they are on the same network - I use this option to look at my own logs from the PC's around the house!
