We verify only the Nightlys and Weeklys, not the Hourlys. We only do this because we also have Single Mailbox Recovery and it seems to complain if you mount an unverified snapshot.

-----Original Message----- From: toasters-bounces@teaparty.net [mailto:toasters-bounces@teaparty.net] On Behalf Of Andrew Laurence Sent: Monday, February 3, 2014 2:08 PM To: toasters@teaparty.net Subject: Verify SME snaps -- yea or nay?

For those running Snap Manager for Exchange... do you verify the snapshots? We've been running Exchange on filer iSCSI luns for several years, dutifully verifying our snapshots and dealing with the added IO during verifies.

We're currently in process of setting up mirrors to a remote filer, with the intent of running the verifies on the remote filer. I heard in conversation, however, that verifies have fallen out of fashion. Is it that the snap process has so little error that there's no point in running verifies? Are verifies obviated when running in a DAG?

Thanks for your thoughts,
