Data Verification
Verification ensures that backed up data was successfully written on the storage media and that it can be restored reliably. Genie Backup Manager will by default verify backed up data immediately after the backup task is completed. Users can also choose to test data integrity of a backup archive at a later time using the Testing Data Integrity tool.
Testing data integrity is done using the following verification method:
Bit-by-bit verification: This is the default method used by GBM to verify that a backup archive is restorable, and the data contained within it is not corrupt. This is done by reading every bit of each backed up file, however, this verification method does not compare data to make sure that the backed up and original versions of files are exactly identical. This means that if the contents of a file in the backup archive were modified after backup, Genie Backup Manager will not detect it.
