Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup logs

You would need to keep catalog for at least as long as your audit requirements are.

I have to keep 7 years catalog to be able to show backups completion status. I don’t need to be able to restore all 7 years of data (except Accounting stuff) just prove I backed it up. Auditors are funny that way.

You could restore it somewhere and see if all the data is there
(really, that's the best way to verify a backup). Or you could run
bpverify on it.
