Verify Archive
Enables the system to verify that what is written to the medium
can be retrieved. To do this, the system archives the files, and
then verifies the retrievability of the files by reading them and
comparing them to the files that it archived. If the files differ,
the system fails the archive process and places an error
message in the
History
view of Job Manager. You should
rearchive files when the system detects an error during the
verification step.
We recommend that you enable the
Verify Archive
feature.
Note: When you enable this feature, the archive process takes twice as
long because the system reads back all of the files that it archived to
ensure that the files can be retrieved.
Fault Tolerance
Specifies whether the process will stop if a warning or error is
encountered. Options are:
●
Continue on File Warning or Error
: The process continues
even if a file warning or error is encountered.
●
Continue on File Warning / Abort on first File Error
: The
process continues if a file warning is encountered, but stops
if a file error is encountered. Files that have been archived/
purged before the error remain archived/purged.
●
Abort on first File Warning or Error
: The process stops if a
file warning or error is encountered. Files that have been
archived/purged before the warning or error remain
archived/purged.
You can view warning and error details in the
History
view of
Job Manager.
Archive Media Pools and Disk Volumes
Specifies the media pools or disk volumes that receive the
archived job files. If you specify multiple media pools or disk
volumes, each media pool or disk volume receives a copy of the
archived files.
Select at least two media pools or disk volumes to create
duplicate copies of your archives. With two copies, you have a
backup in case a tape is lost or a tape or disk is damaged or
destroyed.
Remember to create a purge process template with the same
media pools or disk volumes as the archive process template.
Before purging, Archiver checks that each file has been archived
to each specified media pool or disk volume. If you do not
