This option allows you to check the data on the media from either the server
or a workstation to make sure it has been backed up properly, and to check
later that the data is valid and can be restored.
You can verify the backup data in two ways:
If you know what sessions are on the media and you have the log and error
files, you can select the session from the list.
If you do not know what sessions are on the media, and if you are not sure
the log and error files still exist, you should create the session files.
