Verify Images

Backup > Verify Images

The Verify Images page performs a one time verification of any selected volume or folder backup. Verification spot checks that backups are completed and can be used to restore from successfully. Verification does not involve comparing the backup to the original source files, so any other machine with an agent can be used to perform the verification of the backup file so long as the machine has read access to the image location. Successful backups may fail to verify if the backup image file was not copied successfully to the Image Location path. This problem typically only occurs in slow or unreliable networks. On slow networks, consider selecting the Verify Backup option in Schedule Volumes and Schedule Folders to verify the backup every time.

Click a machine ID to select a volume backup to mount. The list of machine IDs you can select depends on the machine ID / group ID filter. To display on this page, machine IDs must have backup software installed on the managed machine using the Backup > Install/Remove page.

Verifying Manual Backups

The Verify Images page can verify images created by Acronis directly, so long as the version of Acronis is a version supplied by Kaseya.
