Checking the Physical Consistency of a Backup

Use

You can check the backup on the backup medium selected.

This procedure, however, only checks the physical consistency of the imported backup. The media definition is checked to determine whether it can be imported, whether the backup is imported entirely (correct page number), and whether the pages are consistent.

The logical consistency is not checked.

Prerequisites

Procedure

Choose Instance ® Check ® Backup.

Select the medium on which the backup is stored.

Choose CheckMedium ® Next Step and then CheckMedium ® Start to start physical consistency check.
