Note  The tree view and object detail areas are different for verify jobs than for backup 
jobs. For verify jobs, the files displayed in the tree view and object detail areas are the 
files for which TapeWare has instances in its storage management database. For backup 
jobs, on the other hand, the files displayed are those currently present on the file servers 
and workstations in the current database zone. 

Each time a file is backed up, an instance of that file is created. There may be multiple 
instances of files stored on different media created by different backup jobs. TapeWare 
keeps track of all the instances of each file in its storage management database and the 
media on which each instance is stored. When media is overwritten or deleted, TapeWare 
deletes those instances from its storage management database as well. 

When you select a file for verifying, TapeWare automatically selects the <Latest> 
instance. If you want to select an instance other than the latest instance of a file backed 
up, you must select that instance in the Instances of... window. When you open the 
Instances of... window, the Available instances field shows a list of the instances of the 
file and the media on which those instances are stored. Select which instance you want to 
verify by highlighting it. For more information about a particular instance of a file, click 
on the Details button. TapeWare displays various details it uses to manage the file in its 
storage management database, including its backup date and its modify date. 

Instances 

window 

 

If you select the <Latest> parameter, TapeWare will verify the most recent instance of 
that file or folder. 

In general, if you want to verify a specific instance of the file, you must select that file 
directly and specify which instance you wish to verify in the Instances of… window. 

Note that when you specify an instance date for a container, such as a folder or a volume, 
only those files which have matching instance dates will be selected. If a file does not 
have an instance date that matches the date of the container, it will not be selected. On the 
other hand, if you want only certain files to be verified, you can specify the instance date 
of a container to only select those files with matching instance dates.
