Configuring the verification server

After you have configured SnapManager, you can configure your verification server to be the same as your host server or a remote server. Configuring a remote server as the verification server reduces the load on the host server. You can optionally configure the verification server after you have completed SnapManager configuration.

Before you begin

You must have SnapDrive, SnapManager, and Exchange installed on your verification server. If you configure a remote server as your verification server, the versions of SnapManager and SnapDrive must be the same on both the host and the remote server.

You can also use the following path to configure the verification server:Actions > Backup Verification Settings > Verification Server.

About this task

You can omit the configuration of the verification server during configuration by selecting the Select the verification server later... check box in the Configuration wizard.

If Exchange is not installed on the computer that you select, specify the eseutil.exe filepath and copy the necessary files to the computer before proceeding.

Steps

In the Actions pane, click Configuration wizard.
In the Database Verification Server window, enter or browse to the name of the server that you want to use as the verification server.
