DISK MANAGEMENT

VERIFYING A BACKUP

Once you have performed a backup, you may like to verify it to check that everything has backed

up correctly. This is done by pressing the VERIFY key followed by EXECUTE. You will see this

screen:

You should press EXECUTE to continue, EXIT to abort. As the verification takes place, you will

see this screen:

You may abort the process at any time by pressing the EXIT key.

NOTE: The VERIFY process does a comparison of what is on the source disk and what is on

tape and the idea is that the disk contents and the tape contents must be identical for the

verification to be successful. Because of this, the VERIFY process is best done immediately

after a backup. In this case, you should have no problems as the two media should have

identical contents. If, however, you make a new recording on the source disk or delete anything

from the source disk after the backup, the contents of both media will not be the same and so

you will receive messages such as “FILE XXXX MATCH NOT FOUND”. This is telling you that

either it has found something on the disk which does not correspond to what is on tape (i.e.

you may have made a new recording) or it has found something on tape which it cannot find on

the disk (i.e. you have maybe deleted something off disk).

It is not essential that you run the VERIFY process after a backup but, bearing in mind the potentially

serious implications of a faulty backup, it is highly recommended. However, you will please note

that the VERIFY process will take about two or three times as long as the backup took so whilst it’s

recommended you verify your backups, you might like to do it during a ‘quiet moment’.
