Verification Service for Microsoft Exchange

If installed, the Verification Service provides verification for Microsoft Exchange backup and restore processes. Dell recommends installing

a Verification Service on a server other than the server that is hosting Microsoft Exchange. For clustered environments, install the

Verification Service on a server outside the cluster.

Using Replay Manager as Part of a Disaster Recovery Plan

Replay Manager can be used in conjunction with Dell Storage Manager to transport snapshots to a Disaster Recovery (DR) site. As such,

Replay Manager can be used as part of a site Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP).

However, because restoring application data is controlled by the application, the specific DRP and the process of activating a DR site is

dependent on the site configuration and the application requirements.
