How to verify backups?
To verify the backup you can do one of two or both:
NVBU includes a built-in Verify Plugin, which can be enabled to check the correctness and completeness of a backup at the end of data transfer. It verifies the stream length written to the media and makes sure that no blocks were dropped during backup. The actual backup runs as phase 1, while backup verification runs as phase 2 of the backup job. By default, the verification phase runs on the NVBU Server. To run the verification phase locally or to configure another default Client, refer to the NetVault: Backup Configuration Guide. An error is logged if any dropped blocks are detected and the verification fails. You must run the job again if the backup verification fails. To enable backup verification for a job, perform the following steps.
The verify after backup option will make the job duration longer.
Note that backup verification does not verify the integrity of data. This only verifies that the backup was actually written to the media.
