Adding a verify backup sets template to a policy

By default, Backup Exec includes a verify operation to run immediately after a backup. You can enable or disable the default verify operation using the Verify after backup option. If you want to run the verify operation independent of the source backup job, you can optionally create a verify backup sets template instead of using the Verify after backup option.

See About the verify backup sets templates.

To add a verify backup sets template to a policy

  1. Set up a new policy.

    See Creating a new policy.

  2. Set up a backup template, which is the media-producing template that is the object of the verify job.

    See Adding a backup template to a policy.

  3. In the New Policy dialog box, click New Template.

  4. In the Template Selection dialog box, select Verify Backup Sets Template, and then click OK.

    The verify backup sets template displays only if the policy contains a backup template.

  5. Select the backup template that you want to verify.

    For example, if you want to verify data after the monthly full backup completes, select the template for monthly full backups as the source template.

    See Verify Backup Sets Template properties.

  6. In the Properties pane, under Settings, click General.

  7. Select the appropriate options.

    See Verify Backup Sets Template General properties.

  8. If you want to set up notification for this job, in the Properties pane, under Settings, click Notification.

    See Notification options for jobs.

  9. Set the schedule for the template.

    See Schedule properties for a template.

  10. Click OK.
