Preparing to Verify Backups

This section describes preparing to verify backups.

To prepare to verify backups
  1. Review the ac_config.std file that contains default archecker configuration parameters to see if you want to change the location of the directories for the archecker message log and temporary files.
  2. Set the AC_CONFIG environment variable to specify the path for the archecker configuration file (either ac_config.std or user defined).

    For more information on setting the path, see Setting archecker Configuration Parameters in AC_CONFIG.

  3. Estimate the amount of temporary space needed for storing the archecker temporary files.

    For more information, see Estimating the Amount of Temporary Space for archecker.

  4. Use the onbar -v option to verify that an existing backup will restore properly.

    For examples, see Verification Examples.

  5. To see whether archecker verified the backup successfully, check the archecker return code in the ON–Bar activity log and the messages in the archecker message log.
