> Verifies that a backup is valid by checking the encrypted data.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /specs/institutional.openapi.json get /v1/backups/{backupId}/verify
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: Recover for Institutions API
  description: >-
    Direct integration for institutions backing up their own digital asset
    wallets. Uses the standard /v1/* endpoints: organisation and package are
    optional, and key_environment selects HOT (online) or COLD (offline)
    generation and storage. HOT vs COLD is a request parameter, not a URL path
    segment. Self-service verification endpoints are available for keys and
    backups. Key generation and storage use AWS Nitro Enclaves for
    hardware-isolated cryptographic operations.
