Cmdlet support for integrity check

DPM 2007 now allows you to trigger an integrity check on a new recovery point through cmdlets through a new parameter WithDataIntegrityCheck. This parameter does not take a value, but if used at the time of creating a new recovery point by using Expressfull backup, it triggers an integrity check on the recovery point.

Syntax

New-RecoveryPoint –Datasource name of data source -Disk -BackupType expressfull –WithDataIntegrityCheck

Example – Integrity Check

The following sequence of commands allows you to create a new recovery point and perform an integrity check on it before storing it to the variable recoverypt.

$dpmname = “Contoso”

$pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName $dpmname

$ds = Get-Datasource -ProtectionGroup $pg[0]

$recoverypt = New-RecoveryPoint -Datasource $ds[0] -Disk -BackupType expressfull –WithDataIntegrityCheck
