Verifying A Recovery Point After Creation - Symantec GHOST 14 Manual

Verifying a recovery point after creation

Avoid using consecutive, repeating characters (for example, BBB or 88).
Avoid using common words that you would find in a dictionary.
Use at least one number.
Use both uppercase and lowercase alpha characters.
Use at least one special character such as ({}[],.<>;:'"?/|\`~!@#$%^&*()_-+=).
Change the password after a set period of time.
If you selected the Verify recovery point after creation option on the Options page
of the Define Backup Wizard, the recovery point is checked to see 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 required to create a recovery point is doubled when you use the
Verify recover point after creation option.
To verify the integrity of a recovery point
1
On the Tools page, click Run Recovery Point Browser.
2
Select a recovery point, and then click Open.
3
In the tree panel of the Recovery Point Browser, select the recovery point.
For example: C_Drive001.v2i.
4
On the File menu, click Verify Recovery Point.
If the Verify Recovery Point option is unavailable, you must first dismount
the recovery point. Right-click the recovery point and click Dismount
Recovery Point.
5
When the validation is complete, click OK.
If you prefer, you can have recovery points automatically verified for integrity
at the time they are created.
