    Backup verification

    For the last couple of months I had been performing full manual backups of my logical drives (anywhere from one through 4 units) on a weekly basis. After the backup process, I manually verified each of the image files. On a daily basis I used a couple of XCOPY batch files to backup new or modified files.

    Recently, I decided to create full backups of the 4 logical drives on a weekly basis with incrementals scheduled daily.

    I strongly believe in verifying image file(s) after they are created.  At this point in time, the verification process cannot be sheduled as part of the backup stream.

    So, my first question is... will a verification process be added as a feature to the schedule task in the next update of SP?

    Second question... is it possible to select all four images to be verified in a single stream, one file after another, as opposed to having to run four separate verification tasks?

    Thanks in advance for your comments...

     Bob,

     There is a long thread here about the absence of an automatic Verify choice in SP.

     Unfortunately, the download link for Nate's scripts  is missing.

    The verification scripts can be found attached to one of Nate's posts in this thread.
