[Veritas-bu] Netbackup verify at write time
2008-07-23 06:59:40
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 good indication backups would be able to be restored.
Taking all physical factors aside ( e.g tapes being bashed around making
them unusable ) the other way to verify is using bpverify but i'm just
wondering if its needed.
Anyone shed any light on this for me?
I know the only sure fire way of knowing a backup is fine is performing
a restore, but unless a full restore is done (which has its own problems
of space etc) then what other assurances are there?
Netbackup 5.0MP7, 6.0MP4 on a mixture of Solaris 9 and 10
Cheers
