5. To immediately create one backup, click Finish.
•
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager creates the backup, names it as its timestamp, and adds it
to the Backup Management node under the relevant storage group in the node tree pane
if:
◦ You are using an expiration-based policy, or
◦ You are using a numeric-based policy but either have not reached the maximum
number of virtual copies allowed or the policy is configured to remove old copies
as necessary (that is, the Remove the oldest Virtual Copies checkbox is selected).
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager creates the new backup:
•
If you are creating a backup of a CCR virtual copy on the active node, HP 3PAR Recovery
Manager creates a virtual copy on the cluster’s active node and backs it up to the
corresponding backup server.
•
If you are creating a backup of a CCR virtual copy on the active and passive nodes and
the policy is set to remove the virtual copy created for backup purposes (in other words,
the Remove virtual copy after backup checkbox is selected in the selected server’s policy),
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy on the cluster’s passive node, backs
it up to the corresponding backup server, and removes the virtual copy.
•
If you are creating a backup of a CCR virtual copy on the active and passive nodes and
the policy is set to retain the virtual copy created for backup purposes (in other words,
the Remove virtual copy after backup checkbox is not selected in the selected server’s
policy), HP 3PAR Recovery Manager creates both the CCR virtual copy and its backup
on the backup server of the selected server.
•
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager does not create the backup if you are using a numeric-based
policy and:
◦ The policy is not configured to remove the oldest virtual copies (that is, the Remove
the oldest Virtual Copies checkbox is not selected), and
◦ You have reached the maximum number of virtual copies allowed and therefore HP
3PAR Recovery Manager cannot create a new virtual copy.
For more information, see “Setting the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Policy” (page 44) .
6. To verify that the virtual copy has been backed up, ensure that the GUI displays the information
described in
Table 6 (page 58) .
