To verify backup, have used 7zip

Zhaoo:

I don't know if Toucan can verify backups, but I have used a PortableApps install of 7zip to do just that. It has a verify function built in. Toucan uses 7zip internally.

Then, when my portable drive failed this morning, I installed 7Zip to drive C and was able to unzip the entire 21 meg backup onto a new USB drive, meaning that restore using 7Zip has also worked for me on large zip backups made with Toucan.

Best,
Phil
