Creating a Backup of a Virtual Copy

When you create a backup of one virtual copy, Recovery Manager copies the existing virtual copy,
and the backup software backs the copy up to the media using the same timestamp as the original
copy. Recovery Manager does not create a new virtual copy for a backup of an individual virtual
copy.

To create a backup of one virtual copy:
1.

In the node tree pane, right-click the Virtual copy you want to back up and select Backup to
Media.

2.

From the Select Vendor drop-down list, select the backup software you are using:

Symantec NetBackup

HP Data Protector

Symantec Backup Exec

3.

In the Parameters area, enter the required information, depending on your backup software:

Enter these parameters:

If you are using:

Symantec

Master Server Name: The NBU master server

NBU Policy Name: The name of the policy you are using

NBU Full Schedule Name: The name of the schedule within the policy you are using

For more information, see Symantec NetBackup documentation and

NOTE:

Recovery Manager saves the information entered in the Parameters area and displays

it as the default the next time you create a backup.

4.

To immediately create one backup, click Finish. Recovery Manager creates the backup, names
it as its timestamp, and adds it to the Backup Management node under the relevant instance
or database in the node tree pane.

“Setting the Recovery Manager Policy” (page 37)
