Chapter 10. Operations with archives

10.1 Validating backup archives

To be certain that your archives are not damaged, you can check their integrity. Here's
how to run a one-time validation task. For how to schedule regular archive validation, see
7.1 Creating scheduled tasks.
1. To start the Backup Archive Validation Wizard, select Validate Backup Archive
in the main window or in the Tools menu.
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. 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.

10.2 Mounting partition images

Acronis True Image Echo Server can mount partition images, thus letting you access them
as though they were physical drives. This means that you will be able to use the virtual
disk in the same way as the real one: open, save, copy, move, create, delete files or
folders. If necessary, the image can be mounted in read-only mode.
Please keep in mind that, though both file archives and disk/partition images have a
default ".tib" extension, only partition images can be mounted. If you want to view file
archive contents, use the Restore Data Wizard (see
file archives
, steps 1-5).
Acronis True Image Echo Server can mount an image archive only if all its volumes reside
in the same directory. If your archive spans several CD-R/RW discs and you wish to
mount the image, you should copy all volumes to a hard disk drive or network drive.

10.2.1 Mounting an image

1. Start the Mount Image Wizard by selecting Operations -> Mount Image in the
main program menu.
2. Select the archive from the drives tree. If the archive is located in Acronis Secure Zone,
select it to choose the archive at the next step.
