Validating a Virtual Copy
You can validate a mounted virtual copy for a mailbox database/storage group with Exchange
APIs through Recovery Manager. To validate a virtual copy, right-click the mounted virtual copy
you want to validate, and then select Validate.
NOTE:
For Exchange 2010/ Exchange 2013:
•
To validate only log file, select Validate Log Only option.
•
To validate log files and Database files, select Validate both Log and DB
NOTE:
You can execute concurrent virtual copy validation jobs through Recovery Manager GUI
and multiple Recovery Manager CLI instances.
Removing Virtual Copies
You can only remove virtual copies with status Available.
WARNING!
If you remove a virtual copy from the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System while
Recovery Manager is creating a backup, and you then delete this virtual copy from the Recovery
Manager repository before a restore operation has taken place, all data is lost and you cannot
recover the mailbox database/storage group.
