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 a backup 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 Select Vendor list, select the backup software you are using:
•
Symantec NetBackup
•
HP Data Protector
•
Symantec Backup Exec
3.
In the Parameters area, enter the required information, depending on your backup software:

it as its timestamp, and adds it to the Backup Management node under the relevant instance
or database in the node tree pane.
