Configuring the hosts for backups that use Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) in virtual environments

When you perform a backup with Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) in a virtual environment, NetBackup catalogs backup images under the client name in the policy. This name is the virtual name (DAG, cluster, or private network name). For an off-host backup with GRT, it is the primary client name. In NetBackup you can provide a list of the Exchange hosts so that a virtual client name can be used for the backup. Set the following configuration parameters in the host properties for the master server.

Note:

If you use a proxy server for backups using Granular Recovery Technology (GRT), also add the proxy server to the list. For restores to be successful in an Exchange 2010 DAG environment, you must add the CAS server to the list.

To configure restores for multiple Exchange Server hosts

On the master server, open the NetBackup Administration Console.
Select NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers.
In the right pane, double-click on the master server.
Select Distributed Application Restore Mapping.
Click Add.

Provide the name of the application host and the name of the component host, as follows:

Environment	Application host	Component host
DAG	Virtual name of DAG	Physical name of Node 1
	Virtual name of DAG	Physical name of Node 2
	Virtual name of DAG	Physical name of Node 3
	Virtual name of DAG	Physical name of CAS server
	Exchange host name	Off-host machine name

Cluster	Virtual cluster name	Physical name of Node 1
	Virtual cluster name	Physical name of Node 2
	Virtual cluster name	Physical name of Node 3
	Exchange host name	Off-host machine name

CCR	Virtual name of cluster	Physical name of Node 1
	Virtual name of cluster	Physical name of Node 2

Off-host	Exchange host name	Off-host machine name
