Verifying Backup Image Files

Arcserve recommends performing verfication of backup images to ensure that each image is ready for recovery. ShadowProtect provides three ways to verify the quality of a backup file:

• Use Mount or Quick Mount to open a backup image. Browse the folders and open various files. If you can do this successfully, you know the backup image is healthy.
• Use ImageManager Advance Verification to verify image integrity with VirtualBoot technology. See ImageManager Verify Backup Images for details.
• Use the Verify Image tool in ShadowProtect to test the integrity of a specific backup image.
