Starting or scheduling database verification

You can run or schedule database verification from the production Exchange server. You cannot use the remote verification server.

Steps

1. On the production Exchange server, click Backup and Verify in the Actions pane.
2. Select the Storage Group on which you want to run the verification.
3. Select Verify Databases and Transaction Logs in the Most Recent Unverified Backups.
4. Select the required, and most recent unverified backups you want to verify.
   Note: Only unverified backups are eligible for verification. For example, if you select to verify the two most recent unverified backups, but the most recent backup’s databases have already been verified, then the previous two unverified backups are verified.

5. In the Backup Management Group field, select the backup management group of the backups that you want to verify.

   If you want to verify the most recent backups regardless of their backup management group, select All.

6. If you want to run a command after the verification is complete, select the Run Command After Operation check box.

   The command that you enter in the Run Command After Operation option archives backups.

7. If your volume is a SnapMirror source volume and you do not want the destination volume to be updated after this verification is complete, clear the Update SnapMirror After Operation check box.
8. If your volume is a SnapMirror destination volume and you want to run integrity verification on the available destination volume, select the Verify databases and transaction logs on the SnapMirror destination check box.
9. Click Verify Now, and in the Backup Status window, click Start Now.
   Note: To schedule the verification for later, click Schedule instead and follow the prompts in the dialog boxes.

   Verification is run on the databases in the backup that you selected.

After you finish
