System and method for a backup data verification for a file system based backup

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, perform a method, the method comprising:
• obtaining, by a backup agent, a backup verification trigger for a backup stored in a backup storage system;
• in response to the backup verification trigger,
• obtaining backup metadata associated with the backup;
• performing a hierarchical structure data mapping based on the backup metadata to obtain a hierarchical structure associated with the backup;
• performing, using the hierarchical structure, a backup verification to generate a backup health state of the backup;
• after the backup verification is generated:
• making a determination, based on the backup verification, that the backup health state is not in a healthy state;
• and
• in response to the determination, performing a remediation of the backup policies.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a backup agent, a backup verification trigger for a backup stored in a backup storage system;
• in response to the backup verification trigger,
• obtaining backup metadata associated with the backup;
• performing a hierarchical structure data mapping based on the backup metadata to obtain a hierarchical structure associated with the backup;
• performing, using the hierarchical structure, a backup verification to generate a backup health state of the backup;
• after the backup verification is generated:
• making a determination, based on the backup verification, that the backup health state is not in a healthy state;
• and
• in response to the determination, performing a remediation of the backup policies.
