Evaluating data protection
The following evaluation procedure has eleven tasks containing step-by-step
instructions for evaluating the data protection functionality of Storage Mirroring Recover.
Before starting this evaluation procedure, make sure you have reviewed the

Also, you should have approximately 500 MB to 1 GB of data on the source for testing. If
you are going to be protecting application data, make sure the application is pre-

running on the target, the files will be held open and Storage Mirroring Recover will not
be able to write to the files. In the event of a source failure, the application can be started
