and select Refresh.

Refreshing a Specific Mailbox Database

Virtual Copy Management node and select Refresh.

Refreshing a Specific Virtual Copy

To refresh a specific virtual copy, right-click the virtual copy and select Refresh.

Backing Up a Virtual Copy

You can use Recovery Manager to back up virtual copies to media using HP Data Protector or
Symantec NetBackup.

To back up a virtual copy to media, you must first configure your backup software (Data Protector
or NetBackup) as described in

Chapter 4 (page 30)

.

You can back up virtual copies at the mailbox database/storage group level or by individual
virtual copy. You can also schedule Recovery Manager to automatically create backups of mailbox
databases/storage groups.

NOTE:

You can configure Recovery Manager to automatically send email notifications when

backups are manually or automatically created. For more information, see

“Configuring Email

Notifications” (page 39)

.

Manually Creating Backups at the Mailbox/Storage Group Level

When you create a backup of a mailbox database/storage group level virtual copy, Recovery
Manager automatically creates a virtual copy of the mailbox database/storage group and mounts
it, your backup software backs up the virtual copy to media, and Recovery Manager unmounts
the virtual copy. You can also choose to have Recovery Manager automatically remove the newly
created virtual copy.

To create a backup of a virtual copy at the mailbox database/storage group level:
1.

In the node tree pane, right-click the mailbox database/storage group node you want to back
up and select Backup to Media.
