Backup software error

Whilst backing up data to tape is a vital part of any IT data security procedure, checking that the backups have worked is sometimes overlooked, yet if there has been a problem with the backup there is a chance that when a restore is required following a server crash or a problem with a disk or RAID, it might not be possible to restore the files that are needed. So why will a restore fail? Setting aside the physical problems relating to damaged tape media or backups recorded by failing tape drives, there are still plenty of things that can go wrong. To balance this it must be pointed out that things do not often go wrong, it is just that when they do it will be just at the time when everything is relying on a successful restoration of data.
