Possible Validate Archive Bug in Rescue Media?

Thread needs solution

I recently ran a full disk restore using the 2016 rescue boot media and chose to validate the archive before restoring (under additional options). This recovery operation failed stating that the archive was corrupt. That is, the archive validation failed before the restore even began.

I then tried to validate the same archive by going to the "Recovery" section in the left menu of the boot media and right-clicking the same archive and selecting validate. When I do it this way the validation shows successful/valid. 

Nothing changed between the two validations (the external drive containing the archive remained on the same USB port, no reboot either). I decided to try the first method again by validating the archive as part of a restore process and it failed again with the same corruption error.

I moved the drive containing the archive files to another PC running ATI 2016 on it and tried to validate the same archive through the Windows program. This showed a big green checkmark - successful. 

Is there a bug in the validation process that runs as the first part of a disk/partition restore operation within the latest boot media? I'm running the latest build 6027. I'm also selecting the default ATI at the boot menu, not the 64-bit option. Can anyone else duplicate this???

Hello, 140BPM.

I've run some tests on my machine and couldn't reproduce the problem you're describing.

Was the backup created with the latest version of True Image or one of the older ones? Is this a full backup or differential/incremental? Have you checked with other backup archives?

I have a similar problem in that a back-up is validated ok by the windows (10) application, but fails when validation run from the rescue media. Does not inspire confidence.
