Hi. A backup is not only a copies that makes copies, but a procedure in which the copies are regularly verified. A problem that I find is that wanting to perform a backup compound procedure, I can not realize this, in any of the servers of the company, since all the servers are in a DNS cluster, and therefore I can not use any server for Restore Test, an account. At first I thought you could exist an exclude to not restore the DNS area but I have not seen something like this in the

  Hey there! You could always test a backup restore by copying the backup file to a server that is not in the DNS cluster and restoring it there. This would avoid any potential DNS conflicts in the cluster.

  Hi I think that's imagination. That is why I ask if there is an alternative. The question is whether there is something that does not know to subtract without restoring the area. Obviously, a customer usually has everything in cluster and pay a shame of $ 15 for a license alone, it is not appetizing. ;);););)

  You could manually verify the zipped data. Running a command like this would let you ensure the backup is valid: tar -tzf /path/to/cpmove-username.tar.gz
  but the only real test is to try a full restore.
