Verifying Media

Use this function to verify media in a media pool. By reading all media blocks and parsing all the headers, then parsing all Media Agent blocks and checking records in each block, Data Protector determines whether the data on the media is valid. If the CRC option was set during backup, Data Protector recalculates the CRC and compares the values.

You can only verify resident Data Protector media.
