Run Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery Immediately
You can run Checksum Verification as part of creating a Smart Copy of an Exchange component, by selecting the following
options:
● Perform Checksum Verification
● Perform Soft Recovery
In the Perform Task panel, select Immediately after Smart Copy creation.
If you do not select Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery operations at the time you create a Smart Copy Set, you can
select them from the Smart Copy node. See Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery for Replicas.
This option is available only if you did not already run Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery, or if you ran it, but one of the
operations failed. If the Smart Copy is already mounted, ASM/ME sets its access state to Read-Write (if the Smart Copy is
not already set to Read-Write).
Run Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery After Smart Copy
Creation
If you did not select the options to perform Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery while you created a Smart Copy, you can
perform these operations from the Smart Copies node. The Verification and Recovery option is only visible if you have not
already run this task, or if you ran a Verification and Recovery task but it did not complete successfully.
To run the Verification and Recovery task from the Smart Copies node:
1. Expand the Smart Copy node until an Exchange Smart Copy (indicated by the gray camera icon) is visible.
2. Right-click a Smart Copy node (indicated by the gray camera icon) and select Verification and Recovery.
3. In the Options dialog box, you can select the following options:
● Perform a Checksum Verification.
● Perform a Soft Recovery. This option makes the Smart Copy writable
● Specify a path to the eseutil.exe utility if it is not located in the default Exchange installation folder. See Run Checksum
Verification and Soft Recovery After Smart Copy Creation for more information.
4. Click Verify.
ASM/ME displays a dialog box indicating that Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery started in the background. You can
continue with other operations.
When the operation completes, ASM/ME refreshes the tree panel and displays the status of the Smart Copy in its
properties.
For example, when viewing the Checksum Verification state, it indicates Successfully Verified. The duration of the
operation is also provided, to assist you in future planning.
Schedule a Global Verification Task for Checksum Verification and
Soft Recovery
The Global Verification task is a scheduled background activity that you can run from any designated user account. The user
account that you specify should have read-write access to the backup documents that you want to verify. Otherwise, you can
choose to run the operation from the computer’s Administrator account. The Global Verification task performs Checksum
Verification and Soft Recovery processing on any Exchange Smart Copy that you have included in the schedule.
When you configure ASM/ME, you can set up a Global Verification schedule to run the Global Verification task. See Verification
Settings for details about how to configure this setting.
Create or Modify the Global Verification Task
When you select the Schedules and Smart Copies nodes, you have options to create or modify the Global Verification task.
You can also use the following options to create or modify the Global Verification task on a verification server, which is a server
that is dedicated to the verification operation:
