comparison of mirrored drives, a copy from the primary drive to secondary drive when miscompare occurs, and
a report at the end of the verification process.

If you select No, Verify will execute a comparison of mirrored drives, a log of errors, and a report at the end of the
verification process.

NOTE: To fix errors found (if any), run Verify again with Autofix=Yes.

Depending on your disk capacity, verifying may take several minutes to several hours. Are you sure?
