Validation Function

Thread needs solution

I purchased the Acronis True Image Home 2010 software yesterday and installed it today. I updated the software and have made my rescue disc and system backup. I could not find a validation function. I did receive a message telling me that the backup was successful. Did I overlook the validation function? If so, where can I find it? It would be nice to be able to compare the backup with the system to see if they are the same.

John,

In the Recovery section, you just select an image backup and then click the Validate button on the toolbar or right-click and select it from the pop-up menu.

Note that this just verifies the image backup. You can't do a compare of the source drive to the contents of the image backup.

I suggest the Validation Function be also present in "Tools & Utilities", where it should logically be available. No?

IMO, the access to the basic functions such as validate, view log, backup, recover should be front and center at all times in the user interface. You should never have to go looking for them.

Guy Le Cadet,

I agree. That is the location in prior versions. They were much easier to access and people did not have to waste time trying to find them as in the newer versions. Suggest you post your recommendation inside the "Wish list" link below.
