Verify a recovery point independently

Verification checks the encrypted artifact and its manifest independently of the creation operation. A successful receipt changes the evidence available for that specific artifact; it does not prove that a complete application can be recovered within a particular time.

Establish artifact integrity before an isolated restore test or an upgrade recovery decision.

  • The verify backup permission.

  • A completed artifact that belongs to your organization.

  • Access to its destination and the correct recovery key.

  1. Open Administration > Backup & Recovery > History and identify the artifact produced by the intended backup. Check its time and storage location so that you do not verify a different point accidentally.

  2. Open Recovery Center and locate that artifact. Choose Verify. If automatic verification already completed, review that receipt and the current artifact state before requesting another run.

  3. Follow the Verification operation in History. Review the job status and any error code; a submitted or running job is not a successful verification.

  4. After completion, confirm the artifact is integrity verified and that the verification time refers to the intended point.

  5. Retain the verification result with the change or recovery record and proceed to Test restore when the operation requires recoverability evidence.

Linux package alternative; replace the artifact placeholder with the approved ID

Terminal window
sudo zbix-crm verify-backup --email admin@example.com --artifact-id APPROVED_ARTIFACT_ID

The selected artifact has a successful independent integrity-verification result and is eligible for an authorized isolated restore test.

  • Verification and restore testing are different operations. Neither a checksum listed in a manifest nor an uploaded object alone is a completed restore rehearsal.

  • Use the same artifact identity throughout creation, verification and restore-test records.

  • Preserve failed evidence for investigation rather than relabeling or replacing it with a successful result from another artifact.

  • For an unavailable artifact, confirm its destination, catalog identity and storage access. Do not substitute a similarly named file without verifying provenance.

  • For an integrity or decryption failure, preserve the object and contact the recovery owner. Check that the correct independently held key is available.

  • Escalate the artifact and job identifiers, stage, time and error code. Never send the recovery key.
