Validating a recovery job

Over time, you may want to confirm that any changes in your network or environment have not impacted your Double-Take job. Use these instructions to validate an existing job.

1. From the Jobs page, highlight the job and click View Job Details in the toolbar.

2. In the Tasks area on the right on the View Job Details page, click Validate job properties.

3. Errors are designated by a white X inside a red circle. Warnings are designated by a black exclamation point (!) inside a yellow triangle. A successful validation is designated by a white checkmark inside a green circle. You can sort the list by the icon to see errors, warnings, or successful validations together. Click on any of the validation items to see details. You must correct any errors before you can continue. Depending on the error, you may be able to click Fix or Fix All and let Double-Take correct the problem for you. For those errors that Double-Take cannot correct automatically, you will need to modify the source or target to correct the error, or you can select a different target. You must revalidate the selected servers, by clicking Recheck, until the validation check passes without errors.

   Validation checks for an existing job are logged to the job log on the target server.

4. Once your servers have passed validation, click Close.
