Looking for a feature to validate/verify done backups

Hello!

Im looking for a feature in the whole Veritas Data Protection Suite to test if a done backup can be restored. Other vendors call this for example: sandbox restore test, backup validation, backup verification, recoverability testing. Compareable to Veeam SureBackup or Unitrends recovery assurance feature.

thank you for any help!

      I think bpverify is not the same as for example SureBackup. 

      "bpverify verifies the contents of one or more backups by reading the backup volume and by comparing its contents to the NetBackup catalog. This operation does not compare the data on the volume with the contents of the client disk. However, it does read each block in the image, which verifies that the volume is readable."

      I think what you are searching for is the rehearsal funcionality of VRP.
