Backup Exec 20.1 Exchange DAG
- 7 years ago
Hello Rob,
There are 2 scenarios in this case.
- Recovering the Exchange environment. [Assuming all or any servers in DAG crash]
- You will need to backup all servers in the DAG & Backup Exchange Databases from under selections of DAG added in Backup and Restore tab.
- If you would like to recover only Exchange Databases.
- Backup Exchange Databases from under selections of DAG added in Backup and Restore tab.

Hello Rob,
If you would like to backup all 5 Servers which are a part of DAG, you can include all 5 servers in one backup
If you select a volume that contains Exchange data for backup, the Exchange Agent uses Active File Exclusion to automatically exclude Exchange data that should not be included in a volume-level backup. For example, .EDB and .STM files, as well as transaction log files, should not be part of a volume-level backup because they are opened for exclusive use by Exchange.Without this exclusion, these files appear as in use - skipped during a non-snapshot backup. During a snapshot backup, these files may be backed up in an inconsistent state, which could create restore issues.. For backing up Exchagne Database and logs you would need to backup Exchange DB's from under the DAG backup selections which will only show Databases.
