About data integrity

The Deduplication Pool storage in NetBackup appliance provides the following data integrity checks to ensure that successful data restores:

Continuous end-to-end verification of backup data, stored in the Deduplication Pool

Any inadvertent data modifications that can cause data corruption are automatically detected and rectified if possible. Any unrecoverable data corruption issues are reported to the storage administrator by the NetBackup Console's Disk Reports UI (NetBackup Administration Console > Reports > Disk Reports).

Continuous Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) verification of backup data, stored in the Deduplication Pool

A CRC value is computed for each object created for the backup job in the Deduplication pool. A background process continuously verifies the CRC signatures to ensure that backup data is not tampered with and can be restored successfully when needed. The deduplication pool design naturally isolates any data corruption from uncorrupted portions of the pool, preventing corruption from spreading throughout the deduplication pool.
