Verify and test backup firewall

Hello 

How we can verify and test the backup file ?

Hi @A.Mannaa ,

As far as I know there is no backup file checking tool.

If you have a test environment you could restore the backup file onto a test device or virtual machine and validate that the configuration and data have been restored correctly.

Kindly find the below articles for your reference:
