Thanks @Bastien-Nollet and @olivierlambert .
I'm going to do some tests and write the results. Thank you so much.

There are any commands that allow me to verify the integrity of the backup files?
Hi, it's great to be back!
Until now, I've been performing backups on NFS media without the "Encrypt all new data sent to this remote" option and without the "Store backup as multiple data blocks instead of a whole VHD file." option. This allowed me to perform integrity checks on the backup files using a script that utilizes "vhd-cli check"and "xva-validate".
Now I need to change the backup methods by enabling "Encrypt all new data sent to this remote" and "Store backup as multiple data blocks instead of a whole VHD file.".
My question is whether there are any commands that allow me to verify the integrity of the backup files from the command line in this new scenario. I have VMs that are several GB in size, so using Auto Restore Check is not an option for me.

RE: Watchdog for reboot VM when it's broken(no respond).
Hello, finally I installed wachtdog in my VM. I have Linux Ubuntu there.
I used xen_wdt module in watchdog.
It is whatchdog configuration:
"/etc/default/watchdog"
# Start watchdog at boot time? 0 or 1 run_watchdog=1 # Start wd_keepalive after stopping watchdog? 0 or 1 run_wd_keepalive=1 # Load module before starting watchdog watchdog_module="xen_wdt" # Specify additional watchdog options here (see manpage)./etc/watchdog.conf
#ping = 8.8.8.8 ping = 192.16.171.254 interface = eth0 file = /var/log/syslog change = 1407 # Uncomment to enable test. Setting one of these values to '0' disables it. # These values will hopefully never reboot your machine during normal use # (if your machine is really hung, the loadavg will go much higher than 25) max-load-1 = 24 #max-load-5 = 18 #max-load-15 = 12 # Note that this is the number of pages! # To get the real size, check how large the pagesize is on your machine. #min-memory = 1 #allocatable-memory = 1 #repair-binary = /usr/sbin/repair #repair-timeout = 60 #test-binary = #test-timeout = 60 # The retry-timeout and repair limit are used to handle errors in a more robust # manner. Errors must persist for longer than retry-timeout to action a repair # or reboot, and if repair-maximum attempts are made without the test passing a # reboot is initiated anyway. #retry-timeout = 60 #repair-maximum = 1 watchdog-device = /dev/watchdog # Defaults compiled into the binary #temperature-sensor = #max-temperature = 90 # Defaults compiled into the binary admin = root interval = 20 logtick = 1 log-dir = /var/log/watchdog # This greatly decreases the chance that watchdog won't be scheduled before # your machine is really loaded realtime = yes priority = 1 # Check if rsyslogd is still running by enabling the following line #pidfile = /var/run/rsyslogd.pidI broke my SO and watchdog reset my vm.
I wait help with this.
