How to Run a Data Integrity Check in Offsite Backup OBM Client

This tutorial explains how to perform a Data Integrity Check on the data stored in your office backup account.  This check validates the data in your account for any errors or problems.

1. Login to the AhsayOBM / ACB user interface, select the Utilities tile.

2. Select the corresponding backup set from the dropdown menu and then select the backup destination from the dropdown menu.

Note: If you select "All" all backup sets and all destinations will be checked but the will take longer to complete depending on the number of backup sets and destinations.

3 Enable the Rebuild index option to rebuild the index file of the backup set.

4 Then press the Start button to start the data integrity check.

Also, note that the time required to complete a data check depends on a number of factors, such as the number of files / folders in the backup set(s), bandwidth available on the client computer, hardware specifications of the client computer such as the disk I/O and CPU performance, and if there are other resource intensive job running.

Important: If the CRC (Cycle Redundancy Check) option is enabled, backup data will be streamed from the backup destination (e.g. the cloud storage location or FTP location for example), to the client computer during the CRC check.   During a data integrity check, pay attention to the resource usage on the client computer. For user with metered Internet connection, pay close attention to the bandwidth usage during a data integrity check if CRC is enabled.
