COMMAND
RMExch create
SYNTAX
RMExch create -s <ExchangeServer> -vs <verification_server>
-mdb <mailbox_DB_name> [-nc [-truncate]] [-rc <TargetServer> [-defer]]
DESCRIPTION
The RMExch create command creates a virtual copy of a storage group on the primary host,
where the Exchange instance is running. As part of virtual copy create process, virtual copy will
be exposed to the backup host for data integrity checking as default options. Once virtual copy
validated successfully, the Exchange transaction log will be truncated as default setting.
■ This command only supports online backup of an entire storage group; therefore, you must
make sure the storage group is online before continuing with the virtual copy creation.
