ABSTRACT:
An integrity verification manager (101) verifies the integrity of a backup (102) of a computer (103). The integrity verification manager (101) audits the computer (103), and stores information (107) concerning items of interest such as executing processes (109, 111) and open listening ports (113). The integrity verification manager (101) restores a backup (102) of the computer (103) to a virtual machine environment. The integrity verification manager (101) audits the restoration of the backup (102) in the virtual machine environment, and compares audit information (107) concerning the restoration to the stored audit information (107). Responsive to the results of the comparison, the integrity verification manager (101) determines whether the restoration succeeded or failed.
