Verification of Backups

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.
