System Validation
This feature is similar to the validation triggered from a DS-Client. It gives you (the service provider) the option to check the restorability of data stored on the DS-System online storage.
- DS-Client key forwarding must be enabled, and the key(s) must be forwarded to DS-System.
- Note: For instructions on configuring DS-Clients to forward their encryption keys, see "Encryption Keys Tab" ("DS-System Configuration").
- It is at backup set level only, (on demand) via DS-Operator.
- It can validate either the latest generation of the backup set's files, or all generations of the backup set's files.
- It has a multi-threaded option allowing you to specify the number of threads to allocate to the validation process.
For more information about validation, see the Knowledge Base article: "Validation (DS-System Initiated)".
To initiate a validation via DS-Operator:
1. In the Customer Tree, browse the Customers Tab until you reach the Customer > DS-Client > Backup Set you want.
2. Right-click > Run System Validation. The System Validation screen appears.
- F1 Help: See "System Validation".
