Validation fails

Thread needs solution

After many failures of creating a "valid" backup, I was able to determine the cause.
Recently, I added 2x1Gb of RAM to an "aging" PC. At the same time, I left, installed, the 512Mb stick that was in there previously. That's when my problems with ATI began. After removing the "old/original" stick of RAM----no more problems!
Moral of the story, do not use "unmatched" RAM chips in your PC if you expect ATI to work properly.

Yep, I can believe that ... True Image is very very picky when it comes to hardware being up to snuff. Glad to hear you found the cause of your problem.

Hello Darryl,

Thank you for using  Acronis Products

I would recommend you to check RAM, use this KB article.

Also I would recommend you to look through the following step-by-step troubleshooting regarding corrupted backup archives in case you will face similar issue again.
