HP 3PAR Recovery Manager 4.4.2 for Microsoft Exchange 2007, 2010, and 2013 User Guide

5. To immediately create one backup, click Finish.
• Recovery Manager creates the backup, names it as its timestamp, and adds it to the
Backup Management node under the relevant storage group 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 (that is, the Remove the oldest Virtual Copies checkbox is selected).
Recovery Manager creates the new backup:
• If you are creating a backup of a CCR virtual copy on the active node, Recovery Manager
creates a virtual copy on the cluster’s active node and backs it up to the corresponding
backup server.
• If you are creating a backup of a CCR virtual copy on the active and passive nodes and
the policy is set to remove the virtual copy created for backup purposes (in other words,
the Remove virtual copy after backup checkbox is selected in the selected server’s policy),
Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy on the cluster’s passive node, backs it up to
the corresponding backup server, and removes the virtual copy.
• If you are creating a backup of a CCR virtual copy on the active and passive nodes and
the policy is set to retain the virtual copy created for backup purposes (in other words,
the Remove virtual copy after backup checkbox is not selected in the selected server’s
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 (that is, the Remove
the oldest Virtual Copies checkbox is not selected), 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” (page 43).
6. To verify that the virtual copy has been backed up, ensure that the GUI displays the information
described in Table 6 (page 57).
