SureBackup

SureBackup is the Veeam technology that lets you test VM backups and check if you can recover data from them. You can verify any restore point of a backed-up VM.

During a SureBackup job, Veeam Backup & Replication performs “live” verification: scans the backed-up data for malware, boots the VM from the backup in the isolated environment, runs tests for the VM, powers the VM off and creates a report on recovery verification results.

SureBackupImportant!

The recovery verification functionality is available in the Enterprise and Enterprise Plus Editions of Veeam Backup & Replication. If you use the Standard Edition, you can manually verify VM backups with Instant VM Recovery. For more information, see Manual Recovery Verification.
