6.6 Creating Instance or Database Virtual Copy

Virtual Copies are created at the instance or database level for Microsoft SQL Server. 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 log and system files. Similarly, when Recovery Manager creates a Virtual Copy for a database, it creates a Virtual Copy of all virtual volumes where the database, log, and system files reside to preserve the data for consistency.

To create a virtual copy of an instance:

1Navigate through the node tree view on the left pane and locate the instance for which a virtual copy is to be created.

2Click the instance name and the Create Virtual Copy icon appears on the toolbar. You can select to create a virtual copy by:

aClick on the Create Virtual Copy icon on the toolbar.

bRight-click on the database node and selecting Create Virtual Copy from the pop-up menu.
