As a spot-check, I have restored certain files to alternate directories, and verified checksums on the original and the restored version. md5/sha1 or similar.
So far, I have never seen checksum mismatches, but most of my testing has been when I first attach a new tape unit, and less than 20 files.
If your question was about on-going checks of _everything_ that's being sent to the tape, then that's probably a different issue. There is some checksum options on your FileSet resource that may address your concern.
Look into the (excellent) documentation (LITED)
Look for verify jobs...
(Or you can keep spot-checking to the point where you have enough confidence...)
Spotchecks should also be part of everybody's regular restore testing.
Right! Louder!

Hi,
I backup my hard disk to a DLTIV tape. And I would like to know how can i be certain that the data written to the tape is the same data that is on my hard disk.
Thanks.
