Enter backup verification settings for a vSphere Recovery Agent

Beginning in version 9.00, you can enter backup verification settings for a VRA. When backup verification settings are entered and backup verification is enabled for a vSphere backup job, the VRA verifies whether each Windows VM in the job can be restored from the backup. See Backup verification for vSphere VMs.

Note: Backup verification does not run for vSphere backups that are started by intra-daily schedules.

To enter backup verification settings for a vSphere Recovery Agent:

1. In Portal, on the navigation bar, click Computers.

   The Computers page shows registered computers.

2. Find the vSphere Recovery Agent, and expand its view by clicking its row.

3. On the vSphere Settings tab, select Verify backups upon completion.

   Note: Backup verification settings only appear if Portal and VRA requirements are met. See vSphere Rapid VM Restore and backup verification requirements.

4. In the Temporary Datastore list, select a datastore for running VMs during backup verification.

5. In the Destination Host list, select a host for running VMs during backup verification.

6. Click Save. A Success message appears. Click Okay.
