Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting disablement of a data backup process disclosed. The system inserts and periodically updates authenticatable sentinel data objects in the primary system. After the backup occurs, the backup data with the sentinel data objects are read and the sentinel data objects are detected and authenticated. If any of the sentinel data objects are not detected or cannot be authenticated, the system informs an administrator that the data backup has failed at least in part.
