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 retain the newly created virtual copy after backup, ensure the Remove Virtual Copy from
Storage System after backup checkbox is not checked.

NOTE:

Recovery Manager by default removes the virtual copy it creates during the backup.

5.

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
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.

“Setting the Recovery Manager Policy” (page 28)
