Incremental Replication Health Testing?

mauzilla

Backups have the ability to do health tests, do you have any plans on incorporating a similar feature for incremental backups? We're opting to rather do IR instead of backups as it vastly changes DR timeframes, but to avoid "full backups" after x backups, it would be a great addition if the consistency of IR can also be tested to ensure you can continue the chain until an issue occurs

I'm not sure about your question, healthcheck can be done on incremental backups too already

edit: oh I see, you mean replication! Sorry I read too fast. It should be doable yes, let me check if we have it in the backlog already.

@olivierlambert sorry yes, I meant replication - Would be a nice little feature

Thank you again for everything your team is doing!

In fact it's already possible In your replication job:

Edit the schedule, check "Health check" box.
Target the same SR than your VM are replicated too
And voila!
