Which of the following best describes verification restores in a SnapMirror workflow?

• A. Restoring data on the source
• B. Restoring data on the destination to confirm integrity
• C. Taking a new snapshot
• D. Rebooting storage controllers

Answer: (B)

Verification restores are a destination-side check in a SnapMirror workflow. They involve restoring data on the destination to verify that the replicated content is intact and recoverable, ensuring the destination reflects a healthy copy of the source. This is done on the destination to confirm integrity and does not alter the source or create a new primary copy. It’s a validation step used to confirm that the mirror can be relied upon for disaster recovery. Taking a new snapshot or rebooting storage controllers are separate actions, not part of what a verification restore does.
