At this step of the wizard, you should select VM backups that you want to verify with the created recovery verification job. Once you run a recovery verification job, Veeam Backup & Replication will start VMs from the application group in the required order, and then boot and process VMs from the selected backup one by one.

Select the Link backup jobs check box. Click Add and select necessary backup jobs in the Job Browser window. If this check box is not selected, Veeam Backup & Replication 5.0 will only start and verify VMs from the selected application group.

In the Process simultaneously up to … VMs field, specify the maximum number of VMs that can be started at the same time. For example, if you select to start three VMs at the same time, Veeam Backup & Replication 5.0 will create three streams in which each VM will be started. Once a VM is verified and powered off, the next VM will be started in the stream. After all VMs are verified, the application group will also be powered off or keep running if corresponding settings are specified in job options.

To remove a backup job from the list, select it and click Remove.

Step 5. Specify Recovery Verification Options and Tests

After you add a backup to be verified, you should define roles, specify startup options and select tests to be performed for VMs in the selected backup. If a backup you want to verify contains VMs performing one role, you can specify recovery verification settings for the whole VM backup in bulk. Alternatively, you can granularly set recovery verification options and select tests to be used for each VM in the backup.

• To specify recovery verification options for the whole VM backup, select a backup in the list and click the Edit… button on the right.

• To specify recovery verification options for each VM in the backup separately, select a backup in the list and click the Advanced… button on the right. Then click Add and select a necessary VM in the Add Object window. Select the added VM in the list, click the Edit button and specify recovery verification settings as described below.

Note: To be able to perform tests, Veeam Backup & Replication 5.0 requires VMware tools to be installed in a verified VM. If VMware tools are not installed, the VM will be started, but tests will not be performed.

VMs without VMware tools can still be used as auxiliary VMs that should be started to enable proper work of other VMs. In this case, you may leave check boxes tests not selected in role settings.

On the Role tab, select the role that VMs in the backup perform. Veeam Backup & Replication offers the following predefined roles for VMs:

 DNS Server

 Domain Controller

 Global Catalog

 Mail Server

 Web Server

VM roles are described in .xml files stored in the SbRoles subfolder of the product installation folder. You can add your own roles by creating new .xml files and specifying roles settings and test scripts to be performed in them.

Once you select a necessary role, Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically configure startup options and provide predefined test scripts applicable for the chosen role. You can use these settings or specify custom ones using the Startup Options and Test Scripts tabs. To verify backups with VMs that perform roles other than those specified in the list, you will have to manually configure startup options and specify test scripts to be used.

Startup Options

On the Startup Options tab, specify settings that should be used when a VM is started.

 In the Memory section, specify the amount of memory you want to pre-allocate to VM on the system boot (in percent). This will be the percentage of the memory level set for the corresponding production VM.

 In the Startup time section, specify an allowable timeout to initialize application that will be started in a VM.

 In the Boot verification section, specify when a VM should be regarded to have been booted successfully: VMware tools heartbeat is present and VM responds to ping on any network adapter.

Test Scripts

On the Test Scripts tab, click the Add button to specify what tests should be performed for a VM during verification.

 To use a predefined script to verify VMs of common roles, choose the Use predefined test scripts option and select a necessary script from the list.

 To provide a custom script, select the Use the following script option. Enter the name of the script to be run, path to an executable script file and arguments that should be passed to the script. You can use the following variables as arguments: %vm_ip% - IP address of a virtual lab VM and %vm_fqdn% — a fully qualified domain name of a virtual lab VM.

To edit scripts, select it in the list and click the Edit button. To delete a script, select it in the list and click the Delete button.

Note: If a VM performs several roles running a number of applications at once, you can verify their work by adding several verification scripts. For such VMs, it is recommended to specify maximum startup timeouts and allocate the greatest amount of memory.
