Detailed Description
Adds a verification server. A verification server is used in a SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server environments to run an integrity check of the backups. It is a SQL Server instance, on which you run backup verification. Verification is a CPU intensive operation, so it is recommended that you set up a dedicated verification server.
