Step 6. Specify Health Check Settings
The Health check step of the wizard if available if you have chosen to create the custom backup policy at the Policy Type step of the wizard and turned on the Enable Backup toggle in the backup policy settings.
You can instruct Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure to periodically perform a health check for backup restore points created by the backup policy. During the health check, Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure performs an availability check for data blocks in the whole regular backup chain, and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for metadata to verify its integrity. The health check helps you ensure that the restore points are consistent and that you will be able to restore data using these restore points.
Note |
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure performs the health check during the last policy session that runs on the day when the health check is scheduled. If another backup policy session runs on the same day, Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure does not perform the health check during that session. For example, if the backup policy is scheduled to run multiple times on Saturday, and the health check is also scheduled to run on Saturday, the health check will only be performed during the last policy session on Saturday. |
To instruct Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure to perform a health check, do the following:
- Turn on the Enable Heath Check toggle.
- Use the Run on drop-down lists to schedule a specific day for the health check to run.
