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: • Create Global Verification Task - This option displays only if the Global Verification task does not exist. If it does exist, a node called Global_Verification_Task displays in the ASM/ME tree panel under the Schedules node. • Modify Global Verification Task - This option displays only if the Global Verification task exists. If it does not exist, the Global_Verification_Task node does not appear in the tree panel under the Schedules node. If you want to support failover of the Global Verification task processing in a cluster configuration, you must create a Global Verification task on each node that is a potential owner node for an Exchange Server Cluster Group. Additionally, you need to manually propagate any changes to the Global Verification task to the possible owner nodes if you want them to be synchronized. This requirement is different from other scheduled tasks. ASM/ME creates a Global Verification task automatically the first time you either create an Exchange Smart Copy or create a schedule of Smart Copies, providing the following conditions apply: • No preceding version of a Global Verification task exists under the Schedules node. • When creating the Smart Copy, select the local Global Verification window as the scheduled verification time. Constraints for Global Verification Task The Global Verification task attempts to verify all Smart Copies, subject to the following constraints: 62 Using ASM/ME with Exchange

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:
•
Create Global Verification Task — This option displays only if the Global Verification task does not exist. If it does exist, a node called
Global_Verification_Task
displays in the ASM/ME tree panel under the Schedules node.
•
Modify Global Verification Task — This option displays only if the Global Verification task exists. If it does not exist, the
Global_Verification_Task
node does not appear in the tree panel under the
Schedules
node.
If you want to support failover of the Global Verification task processing in a cluster configuration, you must create a Global Verification
task on each node that is a potential owner node for an Exchange Server Cluster Group.
Additionally, you need to manually propagate any changes to the Global Verification task to the possible owner nodes if you want them to
be synchronized. This requirement is different from other scheduled tasks.
ASM/ME creates a Global Verification task automatically the first time you either create an Exchange Smart Copy or create a schedule of
Smart Copies, providing the following conditions apply:
•
No preceding version of a Global Verification task exists under the Schedules node.
•
When creating the Smart Copy, select the local Global Verification window as the scheduled verification time.
Constraints for Global Verification Task
The Global Verification task attempts to verify all Smart Copies, subject to the following constraints:
