Before You Begin

Before you create and start a recovery verification job, check the following prerequisites:

• A valid license for Enterprise edition of Veeam Backup & Replication must be installed on the backup server.
• All applications and services on which verified machines are dependent must be virtualized in your environment.
• If you plan to scan machines data for malware, check requirements and limitations.
• If you plan to verify machines with a ping test, the firewall on tested machines must allow ping requests.
• If you plan to verify machines with a heartbeat test, Hyper-V Integration Services must be installed in tested machines.

• If backup file that is used to add the machine to an application group cannot be found, Veeam Backup & Replication will search for other backup files containing this machine.

• To open a console of a verified machine, you must have the RDP client version 7.0 and later installed on the backup server. The RDP client is pre-installed on Microsoft Windows 7 OS and later.
• You cannot add to application groups VMs from backups created with backup copy jobs and backups stored in Cloud Connect backup repositories.
