How do I know that I have successfully backed up my database using the MySQL Dump feature through SSH?

I use the following code to backup my forum and then download the file off my server...

[LCD_Angel]

Do offer a service that would check to see if I still have all the old posts and them restore them?...

[LCD_Angel]
