We have always:
- Done a backup
- Checksummed each file (proprietrary scripted)
- Parrallel run dummy identical transactions on two computers - ensured each result is identical - very time consuming.
- For files such as media files relied only on 2 above as they are not critical.
There are too many files to do this in a short time. So data is always categorized as essential, can be recreated or not important if lost.
We use our golden rules of backups:
- never trust them
- do daily or hourly as required
- every 2nd day
- every week
- every month
This way, to date, we have been able to recover from corrupted files in backups or in use.
We have to provide an audit every time a clients data needs recovering so we have developed many safeguards.
Each to their own needs - this has worked for us and files do get corrupted.
I'm sure others have different methods - you might consider a separate thread on checking the integrity of backups?
Hope this helps.
