Build: 6055 - Does the Option Validate really validate?
Windows 8.1 Update with all updates
After installing the new german build 6055 of ATI I tested the Validate Option.
I was extremely puzzled when I realized that a 51 GB big backup on a normal disk was validated in less than 15 sec!
To demonstrate the behaviour I took a screenshot just before I clicked "Validieren" (validate_start.png) and another screenshot after the finish message "Backup ist gültig." (validate_stop.png). Including the screenshot handling the time difference on the clock is 17 sec!
On the stop-screenshot there a check mark with the "validated" backup. After stopping ATI and starting it again the check mark vanished (validate_newstart).
I think the validate option lies. What do you think?
Followed_the_Recommendations___Same_Result
Followed the in #1 and in https://kb.acronis.com/content/48668 recommended procedure:
- Startup Recovery Manager was not configured
- Acronis Secure Zone was not configured
- deinstallation of Build 6055
- reboot
- ran Cleanup Utility from https://kb.acronis.com/content/48668
!!! Explorer was very, very slow - unable to work with -> logoff necessary
- controlled upper and lower filters in the registry -> clean
- chkdsk on system partition -> clean
- reboot
- for the installation unnecessary volumes dismounted
- reboot
- fresh install of Build 6055
- tried to validate a backup
>>>Result: Same as reported in #1 with another backup file (see attachments)
- chkdsk on data partition -> clean
What to try next? Acronis it is your turn!
See my similar observation
Nach dem verwenden des Acronis Bereinigungstools ALLE UpperFilters kontrollieren.
Hallo AcroBS
Wurden auch alle "UpperFilters" überprüft, oder nur die zwei angegebenen Schlüssel? Ich bin mir sicher das in den "UpperFilters" "fltsrv" zu finden ist (Wenn vorher ATI 2015 Build 5539 installiert war, bevor das neue Build installiert wurde.

Hello AcroBS
Have you checked all "UpperFilters" or only the two Keys? I am sure, you will find the "fltsrv" in a UpperFilters Key (if ATI 2015 Build 5539 was prior installed, before updating)
One_more_try:
To be very certain not to oversee something I deinstalled and reinstalled build 6055:
After deinstallation and running the Cleanup Utility I controlled the whole registry with Nirsofts Regscanner and the system volume with the File Explorer from an adminstrative account: No appearance of the in https://kb.acronis.com/content/48668 mentioned items!
I controlled the services with msconfig: No Acronis services were listed.
After installation absolutely NO changes compared with my previous installation!
One additional observation: After clicking "Verify" the program window turns black for a short time. Maybe there was somewhere an error. A log option could bring more light. Is there one?
What happens if you validate via the recovery media?

Hallo Colin,
in earlier version there was an option and the advice to verfiy an backup before you recover a volume. But with build 6055 I did not find such an option. You can only validate directly after a backup when you tick the specific backup option. But standalone - an equivalent to windows version - I was unable to locate.

Do you search this?
Seems to work for me.
My ~400GB disc image backup is validating and looks like it will take an 60 to 90 minutes to complete.
This is on an Intel i5 box with 2TB SATA 2 internal disc as the backup destination.
Using build 6055.
My screens look like those of AcroBS (but in English) and nothing like the images posted by G. Uphoff.
@mark,
G.Uphoff's screenshots are of the TI 2015 Linux recovery environment, AcrosBS's screenshots are from TI 2015 in Windows.
