First Claim
1. A method for verifying data stored in a storage system, the storage system comprising a management server, a media management component connected to the management server, at least one network attached storage device connected to the media management component, and a data source connected to the management server, the method comprising:
- sending a request to restore stored data, the stored data being stored on a network attached storage device and including first metadata;
receiving the stored data;
comparing the first metadata with second metadata stored in the storage system;
verifying the stored data based on the comparing; and
