Creating a Virtual Copy of a CCR-Enabled Storage Group
You can use Recovery Manager to create a virtual copy of a storage group for which Cluster

passive node, or both the passive and active node.
To create a CCR virtual copy of a storage group:
1.
In the node tree pane, right-click the CCR-enabled storage group for which you want to create
a virtual copy, and select Create.
2. Select one of the following options:
Description Option

the active node of the Exchange cluster. Recovery Manager saves the CCR Virtual Copy on Active Node
virtual copy to the active node of the corresponding backup server
(primary).
Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy of the resources that are on
the passive node of the Exchange cluster. Recovery Manager saves
the virtual copy to the passive node of the corresponding backup server. CCR Virtual Copy on Passive Node
Recovery Manager first creates a virtual copy on the passive node and
then saves the virtual copy to the passive node of the corresponding CCR Virtual Copy on Passive and Active
Node
backup server. Next, Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy on the
active node and then saves the virtual copy to the active node of the
corresponding backup server.
3. In the Validate Virtual Copy area, select whether you want Recovery Manager to validate the
server name or skip validation of the CCR virtual copy, and whether you want Recovery
