What if its the other way around .The state of restore is unknown until a backup is attempted
-
theuser46586yNot a DB guy but how about you hash the current state before backup and then hash the resulting backup? -
LuxARTS15896y@theuser How about compare the size of the original with the backup? I think will be slow if you try to hash thousands of GB. -
lorentz1536039dIn critical infrastructure, they usually perform recovery tests in a dedicated environment. This is also useful because in case of a failure it's the only useful pointer you can have to project an estimated downtime.
