Integrity checking ensures perfect data integrity for an infinite retention time of your backups !
As you know, storage media are not 100% reliable and can degrade over time. This can corrupt stored data.
Backing up data is good ; being able to restore it is even better. And as the lifespan of disks increases, so does the risk of data corruption.
Integrity checking regularly ensures the integrity of all backed-up blocks to guarantee their longevity and thus ensure the smooth restoration of all back-ups, whatever their age.
When a corruption is detected in the deduplication, Beemo’s technical department receives an alert. All previously replicated corrupted data is then recovered.
In the event that corrupted data has not been replicated, Beemo’s technical department will make every effort to restore its integrity, without guaranteeing a result.
If the integrity check detects that the storage media is no longer reliable, Beemo Technical Services will contact you to change the enclosure as soon as possible to avoid data loss.
In conclusion : it is necessary to have adequate equipment and to systematically outsource the data in order to guarantee its continuity over time.
