Recovery Manager creates the backup, names it as its timestamp, and adds it to the
Backup Management node under the relevant mailbox database/storage group in the
node tree pane if:

You are using an expiration-based policy, or

You are using a numeric-based policy but either have not reached the maximum
number of virtual copies allowed or the policy is configured to remove old copies
as necessary (i.e., the Remove the oldest Virtual Copies checkbox is checked).

Recovery Manager does not create the backup if you are using a numeric-based policy
and:

The policy is not configured to remove the oldest virtual copies (i.e., the Remove the
oldest Virtual Copies checkbox is not checked), and

You have reached the maximum number of virtual copies allowed and therefore
Recovery Manager cannot create a new virtual copy.
