Results of the verification are shown in the appliance Management Console › Clients › Summary. They include a boot detection screenshot and a boot status.
| Boot status | Description |
|---|---|
| Successful | Backup was successfully checked and booted by the boot verification service |
| Failed | Boot verification failed due to either: the time allotted to verification has expired (the backup could still be healthy and bootable); or other failures. Contact Infrascale Support for assistance. |
| N/A | Boot verification service did not find what to verify due to either: the appliance was rebooted or the service was restarted; thus boot verification queue was cleared, and there is nothing to verify for now; or the boot verification service is turned off |
| Unknown | Boot verification service tried to verify an operating system other then Windows |
