Configuring the database verification override option

You can configure SnapManager to override the verification requirement and restore directly from an unverified backup copy.

Steps

1. In the Actions pane, click Backup Verification Settings > Verification Settings.

   Other ways to open Verification Settings are as follows:

   • From the Backup Wizard, go to the Verify the Databases and Transaction Logs in this Backup window and click Verification Settings.
   • From the Restore Wizard, go to the Verify the Database Integrity in this Backup window (displayed only if you select to restore from an unverified backup copy) and click Verification Settings.

2. Select the Override Verification tab.
3. Configure the Override Database Verification Requirement for Restore option.
   Note: If you enable this option, it is reset the next time you start the SnapManager application.

4. A message appears that says "An unverified backup may contain an image of an Exchange database that is physically corrupt. If the backup copy contains physical database corruption, this corruption will persist in the restored database." If you want to enable the Override Database Verification Requirement for Restore option, click OK; otherwise, click No.
5. Click OK to close the dialog box and apply your change.
   Note: If you are using the Restore wizard, by selecting the Override Database Verification Requirement for Restore option causes the Verify the database integrity of this backup prior to restoring it option to become accessible so that you can disable it.

   If...	Then...
   The override option is disabled (the default and recommended setting)	You cannot select an unverified backup copy as the source of the restore operation.
   The override option is enabled (not recommended)	If you select an unverified backup copy as the source of the restore operation, you are asked to proceed with the restore operation. Note: This option is reset when you exit SnapManager.
