Then, move into Veeam Backup and Replication folder by using this command line: cd “C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup” Note: If the tool is not run, you should execute a terminal console (cmd): exe file “”, path: C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup. Veeam Backup Validator is an alternative if a Standard license is used by your Veeam Backup Server or if you don’t have the required resources (compute) to create a Virtual Lab. The SureBackup job aggregates all settings and policies of the recovery verification task, such as application group and Virtual Lab to be used, VM backups that must be verified in the virtual lab and so on. This feature is not a SureBackup job! A SureBackup job is an automated task for recovery verification by starting the Virtual Machines from the backup file. You can easily check your backup files with a command line tool located into the installation folder of the software: (path: C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup). Veeam Backup Validator is an unknown feature that allows checking the consistency of a backup created with Veeam Backup and Replication.
