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 (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 Configuration” (page 31) .
6. Verify that the virtual copy has been backed up. To do so, ensure that the GUI displays the
information described in
Table 5 (page 45) .

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.
