Manually Creating Backups at the Mailbox Level
When you create a backup of a mailbox database level virtual copy, Recovery Manager
automatically creates a virtual copy of the mailbox database and mounts it, your backup software
backs up the virtual copy to media, and Recovery Manager unmounts the virtual copy. You can
also choose to have Recovery Manager automatically remove the newly created virtual copy.
To create a backup of a virtual copy at the mailbox database level:
1. In the node tree pane, right-click the mailbox database node you want to back up and select
Backup to Media.
2. Select whether to:
• Validate the server name
• Skip validation of the virtual copy
If you skip validation, ensure the server name displayed in the Backup Client text box is
correct.
• Truncate the log
3. Click Next.
4. From the Select Vendor drop-down list, select the backup software you are using:
• Symantec NetBackup
• HP Data Protector
5. In the Parameters area, enter the required information, depending on your backup software:

Virtual Copy from InServ after backup checkbox is checked.
