Vefiry table index of backup

  • Hello All,

    Is there a way to check/verify table index in a backup?

    I found a sql script but it requires to restore the backup first.

    What I want is to check if there were no problems of the table

    index in a backup file.

    Hoping for your great help.

    Many thanks...

  • You'll have to restore the backup. There's no tool I know of that reads inside a SQL backup.

  • And run consistency checks before you backup the database so that in the future you'll know that the backup was taken from a well structured db.
