Transaction log sequence verification options

You can make a restore operation faster by omitting the pre-restore transaction log sequence and database metadata checks. However, if you omit these checks, and a problem exists with your transaction log sequencing or your database metadata, the restore operation fails.

To perform an exhaustive check of the metadata, select the Verify Transaction Log Sequence... and the Exhaustive Verification check boxes in Restore > Advanced Options. For backward compatibility among SnapManager versions, the exhaustive check of metadata is selected by default.

To perform a quicker, less comprehensive check of the transaction logs, select Verify Transaction Log Sequence... and clear Exhaustive Verification in Restore > Advanced Options.

To omit metadata verification, clear the Verify Transaction Log Sequence... and the Exhaustive Verification check boxes in Restore > Advanced Options.

• Exhaustive transaction log sequence
  The exhaustive transaction log sequence checks the transaction log headers and mounts the Snapshot copies for further verification.
• Non-exhaustive transaction log sequence
  The non-exhaustive transaction log sequence uses only the file names of the transaction log for verification. SnapManager verifies that the transaction log sequence is correct and that all log files are present.
