DESCRIPTION
The RMExch create command creates a virtual copy of a mailbox database (or storage group
for Exchange 2007) on the primary host where Exchange is running.
By default, Recovery Manager for Exchange exposes the virtual copy to the backup host during
virtual copy creation for data-integrity checking. Also by default, the Exchange transaction log is
truncated after the virtual copy validates successfully.
This command only supports online backup of an entire mailbox database/storage group. Therefore,
you must make sure the mailbox database/storage group is online before creating a virtual copy.
PARAMETERS
The following options are supported:
•
-s <ExchangeServer> - The name of the Exchange server.
•
(for Exchange 2010)-mdb <mailbox_DB_name> - The name of the mailbox database to
shadow copy.
•
(for Exchange 2007)-g <StorageGroup> - The storage group to shadow copy. This
parameter is case sensitive.
•
(for Exchange 2010) -vs <verfication_server> - The server on which snapshot
verification is performed. This cannot be used with the -nc option.
•
-nc - Optional. Skip the integrity check. Not recommended. This cannot be used with the
-vs option.
•
-truncate - Optional. Force truncation of log upon successful VC creation when -nc is
used.
•
-rc <TargetServer> - Optional. Indicates the virtual copy creation is for Remote Copy.
Specify the target server on which to create the virtual copy once Remote Copy completes.
•
-defer - Optional. Defer the log truncation decision after the Remote Copy completes. This
cannot be used with the -nc or -truncate options.
•
-noemail - Optional. Do not send an email notification even if configured for this operation.
•
-exp <time>{h|H|d|D} - Optional. If the policy is expiration-based, set the expiration
