SnapCenter Exchange Plugin DB Clone

[elic_co]

Hey,

From what I've seen up to SnapCenter 4.2 there is no option to create a clone of an exchange db, only to full restore it.

A clone must be created manually.

Is that a feature that will be added in the future?

thanks,

Hi,

Your observation is spot on. 

Note: Plug-in for Exchange does not support clone operations; therefore, the CloneType parameter for the Add-SmPolicy cmdlet is not supported for Plug-in for Exchange.

This page lists plug-ins for : Oralce, Sql & Windows, except exchange.

Cloning for Exchange database may be considered for future but currently is not in the roadmap for the next release.
