•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.
