ATI 2011 automatic validate after backup hanging!

Thread needs solution

On a Dell XPS 9000 running Win7/64-bit I'm doing a Partition image backup of an external hard drive (Avastor Hdx-1500) to another external hard drive (Seagate GoFlex Desk).

The backup time took roughly 12-14 hours, high compression setting. I set the option to automatically validate after the backup. The meter has run down to 24 minutes and it says "Validating". It has been hanging at 24 minutes, then eventually went to 25, now 26 with the Validating status for hours. Is this normal? How long should I wait before canceling and what are my solutions to this issue?

thank you!

Validation could run as long as the original backup. Be patient. If it lasts significantly than the backup, something is wrong.

High compression takes much longer with very little space benefits.
