 BR supports server-side encryption (SSE) when backing up data to S3. In this scenario, you can use AWS KMS keys you have created to encrypt data. For details, see [BR S3 server-side encryption](/encryption-at-rest.md#br-s3-server-side-encryption).
 
+## Validate backup data
+
+After you back up data using BR, you can validate the backup data, including checking its integrity and viewing the metadata (such as TSO) by decoding the `backupmeta` file.
+
+### Check the integrity of backup data
+
+To check the integrity of backup data, you can run the `tiup br debug checksum` command to calculate the checksum of the backup data.
+
+Example: Calculate the checksum of the backup data in the `${prefix}` directory in the `backup-data` bucket on Amazon S3.
+
+```shell
+br debug checksum \
+    --storage 's3://backup-data/${prefix}' \
+    --s3.endpoint '${S3-endpoint-URL}' \
+    --log-file checksum.log
+```
+
+### Decode `backupmeta` to a readable JSON file
+
+After a backup is complete, you can run the `tiup br debug decode` command to decode the `backupmeta` file into a readable JSON file, through which you can view the metadata (such as TSO) of the snapshot.
+
+Example: Decode the `backupmeta` file in the `${prefix}` directory in the `backup-data` bucket on Amazon S3 into a JSON file `backupmeta.json`. The decoded file is stored in `s3://backup-data/${prefix}/backupmeta.json`.
+
+```shell
+br debug decode \
+    --storage 's3://backup-data/${prefix}' \
+    --s3.endpoint '${S3-endpoint-URL}' \
+    --log-file decode-backupmeta.log
+```
+
+Open the `backupmeta.json` file and search for `end_version` to view the TSO of the snapshot.
+
+If necessary, you can also encode the JSON format `backupmeta` file back to the original state. Specifically, run the `tiup br debug encode` command to generate the file named `backupmeta_from_json`.
+
+Example: Encode the `backupmeta.json` file in the `${prefix}` directory in the `backup-data` bucket on Amazon S3 into a `backupmeta` file. The encoded file is stored in `s3://backup-data/${prefix}/backupmeta_from_json`.
+
+```shell
+br debug encode \
+    --storage 's3://backup-data/${prefix}' \
+    --s3.endpoint '${S3-endpoint-URL}' \
+    --log-file encode-backupmeta.log
+```

 ## Backup performance and impact
 
 The backup feature has some impact on cluster performance (transaction latency and QPS). However, you can mitigate the impact by adjusting the number of backup threads [`backup.num-threads`](/tikv-configuration-file.md#num-threads-1) or by adding more clusters.

-> The impact and speed of backup depends much on cluser configuration, deployment, and running services. The preceding test conclusions, based on simulation tests in many scenarios and verified in some customer sites, are worthy of reference.

  Since v5.3.0, BR introduces the auto tunning feature (enabled by default) to adjust the number of backup threads. It can maintain the CPU utilization of the cluster below 80% during backup tasks. For details, see [BR Auto-Tune](/br/br-auto-tune.md).
