Hello alan10
Your theory is correct validation should be done when an Image is created.I'm talking about the restore though.I have checked the integrity of the image and its fine.Can you imagine if I had validated before or after the restore how long I would have been waiting lol. I did some testing overnight with Paragon, Macrium and Windows native backup feature and have come to the conclusion that - I don't know what happened.
Paragon and windows images of the same drive restore in 25-30 mins but are considerably larger in size so it may be a compression issue with my system. Can,t explain it.
I'm not putting the finger on Macrium, there are many happy users here, and thats one of the reasons I tried it in the first place but at this point its not usable for me 2 1/2 hours to restore would drive me crazy.
