Verifying the integrity of a recovery point
If you selected the Verify recovery point after creation option on the Options
panel of the Define Backup wizard, the following occurs:
■ Symantec System Recovery verifies that all of the files that make up the
recovery point are available for you to open.
■ Internal data structures in the recovery point are matched with the data that
is available.
Also, the recovery point can be uncompressed to create the expected amount of
data (if you selected a compression level at the time of creation).
Note: The time that is required to create a recovery point is doubled when you use
the Verify recovey point after creation option.
If you prefer, you can have recovery points automatically verified for integrity at
the time they are created.
See
“Advanced options for drive-based backups” on page 86.
