11.1 Validating backup archives

To be certain that your archives are not damaged, you can check their integrity.

1. To invoke the Backup Archive Validation Wizard, click Validate Backup Archive on

the toolbar. You can also access this wizard via the Backup Archives category.

2. Select the archive to validate. The Acronis Secure Zone can be selected only as a whole

because all its contents is considered as a single archive.

3. Clicking Proceed in the summary window will launch the validation procedure. After the

validation is complete, you will see the results window. You can cancel checking by clicking

Cancel.

To check archive data integrity you must have all incremental and differential backups

belonging to the archive and the initial full backup. If any of successive backups is missing,

validation is not possible.

11.2 Operation results notification

Sometimes a backup or restore procedure can last for 30 minutes or more. Acronis True

Image Home can notify you when it is finished using the WinPopup service or via e-mail. The

program can also duplicate messages issued during the operation or send you the full

operation log after operation completion.

By default all notifications are disabled.
