DDB Verification Job vs Data Verification Job

Question

Does the DDB Verification Job do an equivalent work as The Data Verification Job? Is there any difference between them? I picked a job for Data Verification, but I didn't run Data Verification operation from Storage Policy All Tasks menu and today I realize that the picked job was verified.

There are some schedule policies to run a Incremental Verification of existing jobs on disk and deduplication database.

And there is menu option to run a Data Verification from Storage Policy.

Yep, the underlying process is the same, we are validating data health on storage in both processes, one targets only the jobs tied to a DDB engine, the other can be at an individual job level or non dedupe policy jobs.

We have some information on these processes here:
