The most reliable method to ensure backups are usable after a storage migration is to perform a test restore. This action validates both the integrity (the data is not corrupt) and recoverability (the data can be accessed and restored) of the archives in the new location. Checking metadata logs only confirms that file pointers were transferred, not that the file content is intact. Continuing daily syncs and enabling encryption are important operational and security tasks, but they do not test the state of the already-migrated data.
