8. 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 mailbox 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 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.
For more information, see “Setting the Recovery Manager Policy” (page 33).
NOTE: To monitor NetBackup progress, use the progress log at the following location:
<RM_installation_location>\log\nbulog\

Scheduling Automatic Backups at the Mailbox Database Level

1. In the node tree pane, right-click the mailbox database you want to back up, and select Backup
to Media.
2. In the Backup to Media dialog box, enter the appropriate information. For more information,
see “Manually Creating Backups at the Mailbox Level” (page 42).

4. In the Task Scheduler, schedule backups as desired. For more information, see “Scheduling
Automated Tasks with Task Scheduler” (page 39).
Creating a Backup of a Virtual Copy
When you create a backup of one virtual copy, Recovery Manager copies the existing virtual copy,
and the backup software backs the copy up to the media using the same timestamp as the original
copy. Recovery Manager does not create a new virtual copy for backups of an individual virtual
copy.
To create a backup of one virtual copy:
1. In the node tree pane, right-click the virtual copy you want to back up and select Backup to
Media.
2. From the Vendor drop-down list, select the backup software you are using:
• Symantec NetBackup
• HP Data Protector
