Specifying the server and client for a Exchange Server backup operation

When you perform user backups of Exchange Server, you must specify the server that you want to perform the backups.

When NetBackup performs the backup of the client (Exchange Server or DAG) it uses the virtual name of the Exchange Server or virtual DAG name. NetBackup requires this configuration for backup operations of a clustered Exchange Server or DAG to be successful.

To specify the server and client for a backup operation

  1. Log onto the server as Administrator.

  2. Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.

  3. Select File > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.

  4. In the Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type dialog box, provide the following information:

    Server to use for backups and restores

    Select the server you want to perform the backup.

    Source client for restores (or virtual client for backups)

    If applicable, select the virtual client you want to back up.

    To perform a backup of Exchange Server in a clustered environment, select the virtual Exchange Server name or virtual DAG name. If necessary, add the virtual name to the list and then select it.

  5. Click OK.
