2. Verify that the backup was performed by checking that the backup file is not empty. For a final check, restore the backed up data.

To restore backed up data

1. To restore the information store of the EDKDOCS20 server that was backed up, type the following command:

   RESTTEST -B backt1 -S edkdocs20

2. Verify the restore by starting the Administrator program and checking that the backed up data is displaying (rather than the previous data).
