How to verify backups/images

Thread needs solution

Client needs to know steps for visually verifying the success of the backup ... actual image of the whole disk. What are steps for this? Does Acronis True Image have an event log to view success or errors of the process? We need to feel comfortable that the trial version is working before purchasing product! Thanks very much.

A good way to test a backup is to go to recovery and locate a backup file. Double click on the file to mount and explore the file. If you can do this the backup should be valid and recovery possible. You can also do this using Windows Explorer. Copying a file or folder from the backup archive to a temporary location is further evidence of a recovery working.
