In a computer security course that I'm taking it's pointed out that backups should be verified for integrity. The methodology that's recommended is to create a before and after hash of the backup. I can understand how that can be done with straight file backups but for a system image I don't understand how that can be done.
That said, I do feel that it would be wise to somehow validate a "Bare Metal Recovery" backup (which is what I'm doing), but I can't find any "HOW TOs" for that.
I'd be grateful for some assistance in this.
