After a backup or secondary backup operation is completed, you can verify the backup data in a specified path in a cluster.

Considerations

Before you validate the backup data, make sure that the data to be verified meets the following requirements:

• All backup data is generated upon a successful backup.

• The backup data is not cleared.

Verify all backup data or secondary backup data in a cluster

1. Log on to the sys tenant as the root user.

2. Execute the following statement to verify all backup data or secondary backup data in a specified path in a cluster.

   Syntax:

   obclient> ALTER SYSTEM VALIDATE DATABASE backup_dest='xxx';
   

   Here, xxx is the path specified for the backup. Replace it with the actual path.

Verify a specified backup set or secondary backup set in a cluster

1. Log on to the sys tenant as the root user.

2. Execute the following statement to verify the backup set or secondary backup set in a specified path in a cluster.

   Syntax:

   obclient> ALTER SYSTEM VALIDATE BACKUPSET backup_set_id backup_dest = 'xxx';
   

   Parameters:

   • backup_set_id is the ID of the backup set or secondary backup set.

   • xxx is the path specified for the backup. Replace it with the actual path.

Verify the log backup or the secondary log backup in the specified path

1. Log on to the sys tenant as the root user.

2. Execute the following statement to verify the log backup or the secondary log backup in a specified path in a cluster.

   Syntax:

   obclient> ALTER SYSTEM VALIDATE BACKUPPIECE backup_piece_id backup_dest = 'xxx';
   

   Parameters:

   • backup_piece_id is the piece_id of the log backup or the secondary log backup``.
