Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Backups Ideas on a backup that "fails" but Verify says it is good RE: Ideas on a backup that "fails" but Verify says it is good

    I am interested to see if there are known bugs in the statements used to verify and identify backup files.

    No bugs. But what verify does is not what most people assume it does. It is not a guarantee that the backup is restorable.
