6. 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 mailbox database, 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 mailbox database:
1.
Select the mailbox database for which you do not want to receive any email notifications.
2. Select Actions
→Delete Email Config.
Creating Virtual Copies of Mailbox Databases
You can use Recovery Manager to manually create virtual copies at the mailbox database level.
You can also schedule Recovery Manager to automatically make virtual copies of mailbox
databases.
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 36) .
How Virtual Copy Creation Works
Recovery Manager creates virtual copies for Microsoft Exchange Server at the mailbox database
level because this is the recoverable unit defined by Microsoft.
The log files for all the mailbox data stores are managed at the mailbox database level. Therefore,
when Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy for a mailbox database, it creates a virtual copy
of all virtual volumes where the information store, log, and system files reside in order to preserve
data consistency.
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.
NOTE: You can only create a virtual copy of a mailbox database that is online.
NOTE: For more information about setting up mailbox databases and volumes to avoid data
loss, see “Configuring the Database” (page 23) .
Manually Creating a Virtual Copy
To create a virtual copy:
1.
In the node tree pane, right-click the mailbox database for which you want to create a virtual
copy, and select Create
→Virtual Copy.
2. In the Validate Virtual Copy area, select whether you want Recovery Manager to validate the
server name or skip validation of the virtual copy, and whether you want Recovery Manager
to truncate the log.
3. Optional: If you want to adjust the expiration or retention time values (or both) for this virtual
copy (or, if you are scheduling automatic copies, this group of virtual copies):
•
To adjust the expiration time, check the Expiration Time checkbox and enter the new
expiration time.
•
To adjust the retention time, check the Retention Time checkbox and enter the new retention
time.
Valid retention time values are 0 (for no retention time) to 43,800 hours/1,825 days.
