policy), Recovery Manager creates both the CCR virtual copy and its backup on the backup server of the selected server.

•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.

For more information, see “Setting the Recovery Manager Policy Configuration” (page 31).

6.Verify that the virtual copy has been backed up. To do so, ensure that the GUI displays the information described in Table 5 (page 45).

Scheduling Automatic Backups at the Storage Group Level

To schedule automatic backups of a storage group:

1.In the node tree pane, right-click the storage group you want to back up, and select Backup to Media.

2.In the Backup to Media dialog box, enter the appropriate information. For more information, see “Manually Creating Backups at the Storage Group Level” (page 42).

3.Click Next.

4.In the Task Scheduler, schedule backups as desired. For more information, see “Scheduling Automated Tasks with Task Scheduler” (page 39).

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 backups 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.
