Steps for Verifying a Backup File

To verify a backup file, perform the following steps:
  1. Verify that the file name is as expected, in the format "HAWS_Backup_ID_YYYYMMDD.bak (where "ID" is the two letter lab code).
  2. Verify that the file's date of creation is as expected.
  3. Verify that the file size is greater or equal to that of the previous backup file.
