what exactly does 'validate' do?

The manual says the 'validate byte-for-byte' does compare each bit. But for those validations you may do months later, what exactly is going on? Just verifying it can read & the data structures are OK? Checking against some checksums that gets stored with the image? Just curious...
Thanks

and if you're referring to the restore option, it's the restored data.

I think this is an option for you to go this route. You can be sure that the data is 100% accurate but would take such a long time because of the error checking.

verifies the integrity of the data in the image file itself.
