When I make an image with TI9 and most recently TI10, immediately following the making of the image, TI automatically goes into the verify mode. The image gets verified that way.
I test the rescue disc by booting from it and go through the steps and stop short of pushing the "proceed" button.
I've reimaged with older versions, but not with 9 or 10 yet. TI10, the one I have was (maybe still is) a free one, stripped down...just for full back up. That's all I need...no incrementals, or frills.
I don't really have a reason to verify the integrity of a backup using the rescue disc other than to see if it works and I believe it should but it doesn't, is this a weak link or a warning? And, if one portion of the rescue disc doesn't work in good times will any of it work in a real disaster? I have gone into backups to look at individual files and that worked just fine but that has been with a working system. I would feel much better if it just worked, I believe this is something to not ignore.
It is now three days and no response from Acronis other than an automated email to inform me they received my request.
