Work Around for broken and/ or slow validation

Thread needs solution

I have found trying to verify an archive from within TI 2010 a frustatrating experience!
The program freezes or takes forever to start checking the archive!

Find the archive in windows explorer (win7) right click on archive file and choose archive and validate.

Seems to work for me

Hello Gerry,

I will do everything possible in order to resolve the issue you experience but first can you please clarify what is the size of the backup archive? You see the thing is that backup of large system volume (e.g., more than 700 GB) may consume more memory than the system can provide. As a result validation may hang.

In order to solve the issue do one or several of the following: 

  • Increase memory pool size as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 304101;
  • Do not run or schedule for the same date and time both backup and validation tasks for large volumes;
  • Stop memory demanding services during the course of the backup, please see: Using Batch Files in Acronis True Image

Let me know the results.

Thank you.
