Verifying the environment

Use the Avamar Config Checker for Microsoft Windows to verify that you correctly configured the Windows environment for Avamar backup and recovery. The Config Checker checks the configuration for problems that can lead to installation, backup, or recovery failures. These failures can affect the operating system for the application host or the application itself.

   2. Select Avamar Config Checker.
3. Click Next on the welcome page.
   The Avamar Application and User Settings page appears.

   When the verification completes, the Config Check Results window appears.
9. Save or open the results in HTML format.
