Consistency Check Plan

The consistency check is a mechanism that helps to avoid data losses. If any discrepancy is found within a consistency check, a user is notified about objects that are missing on backup storage or there is a mismatch between object sizes or modification dates.

A consistency check can be created as a separate plan using the Management Console or the command line interface.
