Automatic Backup Verification (ABV) is a scheduled or on-demand mechanism for verification of backups that ensures the integrity of restore points.
Heartbeat Verification:
The heartbeat verification checks whether the VMware Tools heartbeat has been received within a specific timeframe after the VM has powered on. If the VMware Tools heartbeat is received, the guest OS has booted successfully and is in a healthy state.
