Abstract
In an embodiment, automatic verification of a system backup operation is provided. This verification is achieved by copying executable files to a writeable file system representing a backup recovery point and configuring an operating system within the writeable file system to execute a particular service upon startup of the operating system. Moreover, a validation virtual machine (VM) associated with a backup recovery point is launched from the writeable file system and a first and second validation operation are performed by the validation VM. Results of the first validation operation are used to select the second validation operation, and the validation VM is determined to have completed successfully based on the results of the second validation operation. In one embodiment, a repair operation may be performed, based on the first set of results, to repair the operating system of the computing device and/or backup data of the computing device.
