If there is any problem during the copy process, a warning or an error message will be shown and also listed in the backup log. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/what-does-testing-phase-actually-test#post-82 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:23:08 +0000 Dracula666 82@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I'm wondering whether a successfully passed "test" is simply a confirmation that the data copied in a backup matches the original data...or does it also mean that the backup as a whole can successfully be restored. I see an "fkc" file in the destination folder along with the compressed data files, but I'm not sure if this file is also verified during testing. I would just simply restore the backup as a test of the backup's "restore-ability", but even in it's compressed form, my first backup is 278Gb, so that would be a rather lengthy manual test. Can you shed a little light on the testing process? </p>
