Configuring Email Notifications

•
You create a virtual copy or remote virtual copy, or HP 3PAR Recovery Manager automatically
creates a virtual copy or remote virtual copy according to the task schedule.
•
You create a backup, or HP 3PAR Recovery Manager automatically creates a backup according
to the task schedule.
•
You restore a mailbox database/storage group.
•
You validate a Virtual Copy for Mailbox database in Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013.

Exchange submits the jobs and triggers the email. The success or failure of the task must be
monitored manually.
