ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for verifying backup data. A storage mapping module maps storage data that is to be backed up to an application module. A storage copy module copies the storage data to a backup copy and a backup copy module copies the backup copy to a verification copy. The backup copy and the verification copy are identical copies of an instance of the storage data. A verification mapping module maps the verification copy to the application module. A verification module verifies the verification copy using the application module. If the verification copy is valid, the backup copy is also valid. A control module may mark the backup copy as valid.
