Click Finish.
Recovery Manager encrypts the password and saves the configuration as an XML file with
the filename servername_instancename_EmailConfig.xml. Each time a virtual copy
or backup is created or a restoration is performed on this instance, Recovery Manager checks
the XML file and, if email is configured for the task, sends an email with the task information
or error messages or both.
NOTE:
Ensure that the Port of SMTP server is not already in use or not blocked by antivirus.
If SMTP server is not enabled for authentication, then any password is accepted.

Creating Virtual Copies
You can use Recovery Manager to manually create virtual copies at the instance and the database
level. You can also schedule Recovery Manager to automatically make virtual copies of instances
or databases or both.
NOTE:
You can configure Recovery Manager to automatically send email notifications when
virtual copies are manually or automatically created. For more information, see
.
NOTE:
You can execute concurrent virtual copy creation jobs through Recovery Manager GUI
and multiple Recovery Manager CLI instances.
How Virtual Copy Creation Works
When Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy for an instance, it creates a virtual copy of all
databases under that instance, including the instance's system databases. Similarly, when Recovery
Manager creates a virtual copy for a database, it creates a virtual copy of the entire volume where
the database and log files reside.
If you have Remote Copy set up, you can also create a virtual copy to be saved on the Remote
Copy backup server; this type of copy is called a remote virtual copy.
NOTE:
For more information about setting up instances, databases, and volumes to avoid data
loss, see
“Configuring the SQL Database” (page 20)
NOTE:
Recovery Manager creates copy-only backup for availability databases on secondary
replica.
