Chapter 11. Operations with archives

11.1 Validating backup archives

You can check the integrity of an archive to be certain that the archive is not damaged.
Here’s how to run a one-time validation task. For how to schedule regular archive
validation, see

8.1 Creating scheduled tasks.

1. To start the Backup Archive Validation Wizard, select Validate Backup Archive
in the main window or in the Tools group or click Validate Backup Archive on the
toolbar.
2. Select the archive to validate. If the archive is located in Acronis Secure Zone, select it
to choose the archive at the next step.

3. Click Proceed to launch the validation procedure. After the validation is complete, you
will see the results window. You can cancel checking by clicking Cancel.

You must have all incremental and differential backups belonging to the archive and the

initial full backup to check archive data integrity. If any successive backups are missing,

validation is not possible.

11.2 Exploring archives and mounting images

Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server offers two kinds of archive
contents management: mounting for images and exploring for both images and file-level
archives.
This feature is available in Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server local
version only. Mounting images using Acronis True Image Management Console is not
supported.
Archives located on an Acronis Backup Server or an FTP server cannot be explored or
mounted.
Both operations are performed through the Backup Archives category.
