UNSOLVED
Any Idea ? to test that Networker Backups can be restored (VM)
Hello Community,
we are having a problem, that a internal corruption in a VM makes all backup unrecoverable (error during start of windows vm). Backups from last month run all fine, also the VM.
Now we must reboot this VM and we had a Bootsector issue. The restore through networkers shows the same error and all the remaining restore points too. Thats bad because we lost these VM.
Is there any Idea Scipt oder included function (or additional software) to verify backup data ... especially for VM Data? Veeam can do verification through SureBackup. I think these could be also done by use a script so start a instant restore (DD is backup data target) to a mounthost and boot/ping a vm ?
The question is, has anyone a similar solution working and use this to verify a restore should be successful ?
Thanks so much
Regards
Sven
Hi,
thanks for that. Yeah thats the point test the save set will not help here i think. I see that the VMware data protectoin appliance advanced has a similar feature. so the appliance and networker are very close together, are any options to use these feature in combination with networker ?
Thanks
Sven

If you clone the backup you do a read-while-write.
You can also run a "recover -n -S ssid" to read but not restoreth e data.
This ensures the integrity of the save set(s).
However, this do es not necessarily indicate that the contents of the backup was in good/consistent state that the restore will be successful later.
