Automated Backup Verification
Backup verification jobs can be created in vSphere Data Protection. These jobs automate the process of restoring a virtual machine: powering it on; verifying the guest OS booted, by detection of VMware Tools™ “heartbeats”; and, optionally, confirming an application started successfully by means of a custom script. The restored virtual machine is disconnected from the network to prevent interference with production systems. After the restore and verification have been completed, the restored virtual machine is deleted to free up capacity. Backup verification jobs can be scheduled at specific times daily, weekly, or monthly
