global Validate toggle?

Thread needs solution

Lately I've skipped Validations post-Incremental-creation every other day (to give my PCs more time to run long overnight maintenance operations)(after all, the next day's post-Incremental-creation Validation will encompass the entire chain).

Drilling down into the settings on both backup tasks on both PCs every day makes me wish that there was a runtime option (in addition to the box to shut down the PC post operation) to disable/enable Verification on all tasks.

I'd only want such functionality occasionally, and perhaps most would never want it, so maybe this post is just wasting people's time, in which case I apologize.

Coyote, you would need to open a Support Case and put this forward as a feature request for a future build of the product, or use the Feedback tool to do the same.

The downside of doing a global validation is how long this can take and the requirement that all backup drives are connected / available in order for validation to be performed.

I don't bother doing validation as part of my regular backup task activity, instead I prefer to do validation for specific tasks 'on demand' - normally after I have been doing some manual cleanup type actions or before wanting to perhaps use a backup chain for a recovery situation.

I was really surprised by how thoroughly Acronis Support understood and was grateful for my suggestion on this!
