Configuration Check
With instant recovery, it is possible to selectively restore separate writer’s
components if they reside on separate source volumes. Instant recovery
of separate components also requires that the volumes with components
data should not contain any other data. The configuration check detects,
whether there are more than one component on the volume and whether
there is any other data besides the component’s data.
At backup time, Application Recovery Manager can check whether the
individual components can be selectively restored using the instant
recovery functionality. At instant recovery time, Application Recovery
Manager can check whether the data required for the components
restore is available.
In case of the Microsoft Exchange Server Writer, it is checked, whether
the whole storage group should be restored, or whether the separate
database stores can be restored individually. In case of the MSDE Writer,
it is checked, whether the user, system, and log files are on separate
volumes.
If the check fails for a component during the backup, you will not be able
to select this component for the instant recovery, you will need to recover
all writer components. If the check fails during the instant recovery, the
instant recovery session will fail.
Configuration
Check Modes
You can select between three configuration check modes:
Strict If any file or folder on the volume does not belong to the
component, the backup or instant recovery fails.
Non-strict If any folder on the volume does not belong to the
component, the backup or instant recovery fails.
Disabled A check detects whether there is more than one
component on the volume and whether there is any
other data besides the component’s data on the volume,
but the session will not fail.
