Can we make feature requests here? Would like to add option for MD5.TXT file to be generated.

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask for new features, but I have a good one (so I think).

When I make large .TIB files, the problem and worry I always have is that they don;t copy correctly, so I make a MD5 text file in the same directory, to go alongside the file when I copy it.

This helps me be assured that the large file has no issues or errors, and I use any of the free MD5/SHA check-sum programs widely available to check the hash against the file.

Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool, if there was an advanced option in Acronis to generate a MD5 hash text file alongside the TIB file, in the same directory with the same name, except the file would be "BACKNAME.MD5", instead of "BACKFILE.TIB". I do this now, but since this seems simple enough, maybe it could be included in a future release?

Thanks,
David

Yes, this is another very good suggestion. My suspicion would be that this feature might only be used by the advanced user but none the less is a great suggestion.

Posting suggestions on this Forum is fine but such posts finding there way to Acronis is another thing all together. Using the customer feedback on the support site may be a better option.

Hi David,
thank you for your suggestion.
I've created a relevant entry in our database and it will be reviewed by development.
Thank you,
Anna
