2.4. Verifying tape files against local files

Before initiating a verify, you must select some files to verify.

There are two ways to select files for verification:

  1. Highlight a file or directory in one of the archives under the tape drive tree node. Only the selected file or subdirectory will be verified.

  2. Checkmark selected files in one of the archives under the tape drive tree node. Only the checked files and/or subdirectories will be verified.

There are three ways to initiate a verify:

  1. Select "Verify..." from the "File" menu.

  2. Click on the verify icon in the toolbar.

  3. Right click on a file or directory in one of the archives, and select "Verify...".

Once the verify has been initiated, the "Verify Options" dialog will appear. This dialog gives you a chance to review the selected files, and change the working directory for the verifyication.

After accepting the verify options, the "Verify" dialog will appear. This dialog shows the progress of the verification including throughput and time remaining.
