Why each option
The primary goal of backup verification is to confirm that the backed-up data is complete, uncorrupted, and can be successfully restored, ensuring data recoverability in case of an incident.
Backup verification involves testing the integrity and restorability of backed-up data to ensure that files and systems can be successfully recovered when needed. This process is crucial for confirming that the backup is usable and not corrupted.
Proving the media has sufficient space for the data is part of the initial backup planning and execution, not the primary goal of verification after the backup has completed.
Configuring the frequency of backups is a policy decision made before backups are performed, not a goal of the verification process.
Adhering to legal backup storage requirements relates to compliance and where backups are stored, not directly to the technical process of verifying data restorability.
