 Data backup is essential to business or organization and having a data backup plan is only as good as the integrity of the backup data. To ensure that this objective is met, AhsayCBS backup server and AhsayOBM/​AhsayACB client provides an improved **Data Integrity Check (DIC)** feature where the end user can easily verify the integrity of the data stored on the backup destination(s) (i.e. AhsayCBS, Cloud storage, or Local storage) to ensure that the backup data is recoverable. Data backup is essential to business or organization and having a data backup plan is only as good as the integrity of the backup data.

 This is the default setting of the data integrity check. Running a data integrity check on this mode allows the AhsayOBM/​AhsayACB client or AhsayCBS backup server to perform a comparison between the files and/or folders on the backup destination(s) and the list of the files and/or folders recorded in the current index file. This is the default setting of the data integrity check.

 +===== How does Data Integrity Check (DIC) compare with Periodic Data Integrity Check (PDIC) =====
 +
 +Periodic data integrity check is performed at the beginning of a backup job, which provides an additional regular data integrity check of the backup data and updates the storage statistics for each backup set. The PDIC feature is enabled from v8.3.2.11 or above and cannot be turned off. This is to ensure a maximum protection of the backup data. 
 +
 +Unlike with the Data Integrity Check (DIC), the PDIC starts automatically and performs a quick check of all the backup destination(s) without the end user intervention. ​
 +
 +The PDIC will be initiated automatically once **EITHER** of the following conditions is met:
 +
 +  * Will be triggered on a weekly basis, usually on the first run of backup job that falls on any of these days: Friday, Saturday, or Sunday
 +    ​
 +  * If there is no active backup job(s) running on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, then the PDIC will be triggered on the next available backup job
 +
 +E.g. If the last PDIC job was run more than seven (7) days ago, then the subsequent PDIC job(s) will run seven days from that day onwards.
