[Veritas-bu] Netbackup verify at write time

2008-07-30 Thread spaldam
The best thing I can say is: "Make Multiple Copies". This is why I always make sure I have at least 2 copies of my next longest retention before expiring the shorter retention(S). For example: If you do weekly full backups, keep you're daily incremental backups for at least 2 weeks. In turn,

If you use bpverify, it reads the media and compares the contents of the media to the catalog. It does not verify the data itself, only the contents of the catalog as you said. I have seen restores fail and bpverify says the tape is ok. Justin. On Tue, 29 Jul 2008, Jim H wrote: > > If you us

Guys management here are fussing around how are we sure backups are successful or they can be restored from without doing an actual restore. I was under the impressions that some sort of verify or sum check operation was done at write time and that if a status 0 was returned it was a pretty goo
