5.In the Operations pane, check the desired checkboxes in the tab for each type of task (Create Virtual Copy, Backup, and/or Restore) for which you want emails:
•Info - Recovery Manager sends informational emails for successful operations.
•Error - Recovery Manager sends informational emails for operations that were not completed successfully.
Both informational and error emails contain the result of the operation and the related CLI output.
6.Click Finish.
Recovery Manager encrypts the password and saves the configuration as an XML file with the filename servername_instancename_EmailConfig.xml. Each time a virtual copy or backup is created or a restoration is performed on this instance, Recovery Manager checks the XML file and, if email is configured for the task, sends an email with the task information and/or error messages.
Deleting Email Configurations
To permanently stop all email notifications for an instance:
1.Select the instance for which you do not want to receive any email notifications.
2.Select Actions→Delete Email Config.
Creating Virtual Copies
You can use Recovery Manager to manually create virtual copies at the instance and database level. You can also schedule Recovery Manager to automatically make virtual copies of instances and/or databases.
NOTE: You can configure Recovery Manager to automatically send email notifications when virtual copies are manually or automatically created. For more information, see “Configuring Email Notifications” (page 31).
How Virtual Copy Creation Works
When Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy for an instance, it creates a virtual copy of all databases under that instance, including the instance's system databases. Similarly, when Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy for a database, it creates a virtual copy of the entire volume where the database and log files reside.
If you have Remote Copy set up, you can also create a virtual copy to be saved on the Remote Copy backup server; this type of copy is called a remote virtual copy.
NOTE: For more information about setting up instances, databases, and volumes to avoid data loss, see “Configuring the SQL Database” (page 19).
