In the Operations pane, check the desired checkboxes in the tab for each type of task (Create
Virtual Copy, Backup, and/or Restore) for which you want emails:

Info - Recovery Manager sends informational emails for successful operations.

Error - Recovery Manager sends informational emails for operations that were not
completed successfully.

Both informational and error emails contain the result of the operation and the related CLI
output.

Click Finish.

Recovery Manager encrypts the password and saves the configuration as an XML file with
the filename EmailConfig.xml. Each time a virtual copy or backup is created or a restoration
is performed on this storage group, Recovery Manager checks the XML file and, if email is
configured for the task, sends an email with the task information and/or error messages.

Deleting Email Configurations

To permanently stop all email notifications for a storage group:

Creating Virtual Copies of Storage Groups

You can use Recovery Manager to manually create virtual copies at the storage group level. You
can also schedule Recovery Manager to automatically make virtual copies of storage groups.

NOTE:

You can configure Recovery Manager to automatically send email notifications when

virtual copies are manually or automatically created. For more information, see

“Configuring Email

Notifications” (page 34)

.

How Virtual Copy Creation Works

Recovery Manager creates virtual copies for Microsoft Exchange Server at the storage group level
because this is the recoverable unit defined by Microsoft.

The log files for all the mailbox data stores are managed at the storage group level. Therefore,
when Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy for a storage group, it creates a virtual copy of
all virtual volumes where the information store, log, and system files reside in order to preserve
data consistency.

You can create virtual copies of standard storage groups, LCR-enabled storage groups, and
CCR-enabled storage groups. If you have Remote Copy set up, you can also create a virtual copy
to be saved on a remote server; this type of copy is called a remote virtual copy.
