Is there a tool to verify integrity of the backup data on MBS?
The Online Backup software already has a built-in checksum mechanism. When a file is uploaded, the Backup server would verify the checksum before marking it as a successfully transferred file. In addition, there is a weekly “Rebuild User Storage” batch job. This routine job ensures that all backup files are validated and no errors will occurr when users need to restore. The settings adopted by Mistral are as follows: • Enable File Validation • Verify “Filesize & Checksum” – Verify the backup file size with its expected values, and the checksum of the backup file with the value saved during upload • Verify “Filesize Only” – Only verify the backup file size with its expected values *Note that if the [Enable File Validation] is uncheck, it would not validate if the actual file size has changed.
