True Image 11 and verification time

Thread needs solution

When True Image 11 verifies an incremental backup, does it verify any preceding incremental backups and the original full as well? I ask because it took 7 minutes to backup the files (incremental) and 18 minutes to verify the backup archive.

Incidentally it used to take hours (most of the day) to verify the backup. I suspect that TI verifies all the incrementals and the full each time. Yesterday out of frustration I came here and found Chain2Gen which is brilliant. Acronis should acknowledge the work of the author because this functionality should be built in.

TIA

TI 11 will verify/validate all of the image files in the set. This can take a long time if you have a large chain or a large Full image.

Thanks - that explains a great deal. It also makes Chain2Gen invaluable.

On my laptop I backup to an external Iomega drive with Retrospect (bundled software). This automatically grooms the backup set.

Can you explain a little more details as to how you use Chain2Gen.
