Creating shadow copies

The primary feature of FRS is creating shadow copies of production LUNs. FRS then manages these copies. If a production database is lost because of a failure or catastrophic event, FRS restores the production database from a shadow copy.

To create shadow copies of production LUNs:

1.Click the production server instance, storage group, or database you want to copy. The example below shows Exchange 2003 Server “N03” selected.

2.Click ShadowCopy in the menu bar, and select Create Shadow Copy. The Create shadow copy window opens.
