Anders,

Is the image itself being made OK?

I would remove the option to validate as part of the task and make a separate task that only does validation, or run it manually.

How large is the drive to be imaged and what compression are you selecting?

Is your USB running at USB 2.0? Sometimes plugging into the rear USB ports on a PC work better than the front ones.

Validation always takes about 1.5 to 2 times as long as making an image.

How much RAM does your PC have?

Hi
The image is about 70 Gb for the first one and 50 for the 2. one
I have 16 GB RAM
I'm using 1 internal disk and 1 USB 2 disk on the back of the PC
I use standart compression
The image looks as it can't finish

Do you use auto-cleanup or auto-consolidation in the backup scheme?

Yes, you see this in the backups options, where you define the type of backup (scheme tab).
