Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of verifying that a reconstructed inventory of a virtualized computer system has been accurately reproduced from an original inventory of a virtualized computer system. A first snapshot and a second snapshot are received, where the first snapshot is a snapshot of the original inventory and the second snapshot is a snapshot of the reconstructed inventory. The first snapshot and the second snapshot are then analyzed to determine that hierarchical relationships, roles and permissions, configuration settings, and/or custom definitions of items in the original inventory match hierarchical relationships of corresponding items in the reconstructed inventory.
