Option C seems a bit risky to me. Selecting a random file and hoping it's present in the backup set? What if you pick the wrong file? Better to play it safe and check the logs, like Option B suggests.

Haha, Option D is a bit overkill, isn't it? I mean, who wants to go through the hassle of restoring the entire server just to check if the backups are working? Option B is the way to go, for sure.

I agree, Option B is probably the best choice here. Verifying the backup logs is a reliable way to validate the backup process without having to do a full restore, which could be time-consuming.

I'm not sure, I think checking the backup logs from the critical servers and verifying there are no errors could also be a good option.

Option B looks like the most straightforward way to verify the backup policy. Checking the logs for any errors is a good way to ensure the backups are running successfully.
