When a file is backed up, Data Protector Express stores the backup date in the catalog. This is called the
backup date. Each time you back up a file, Data Protector Express changes the backup date to match this
newer backup date. You can view information for all available backup versions file in the Versions of...
window. You can use this information to filter files for verify jobs. You can use this filter for files that

that have been recently backed up.
To select files that have specific backup dates, click on the Browse button next to the Backup range
field. In the Date Range window that appears, select the appropriate range type and the starting and

To select files that have specific modify dates, click on the Browse button next to the Modify range field.
In the Date Range window that appears, select the appropriate range type and the starting and ending
