Backup validation

Validation is an operation that checks the possibility of data recovery from a backup. When this option is enabled, each backup created by the protection plan is validated immediately after creation, by using the checksum verification method. This operation is performed by the protection agent.

The preset is: Disabled.

For more information about the validation via checksum verification, refer to Checksum verification.

Depending on the settings chosen by your service provider, validation might not be available when backing up to the cloud storage. Validation is also not available for backup locations on public clouds.
