rotational procedure by identifying the type and
level of backup, which generation is moved off-

the backup software that show:
• The selection of files that are backed up.
• The schedule that the backup job is set to

• A recent log file showing a successful backup
of the system.
• A recent restore log file (if available) showing
a successful restore of the system.
