Backup Exchange DAG using NetBackup - using NetApp storage

Hi,

What is the best way to backup Exchange DAG using NetBackup - we are using NetApp storage for Exchange

We we NetApp snapmirror for DR. 

One Exchange node in EU and other is US, we have two active / passive DB in both location.

For granular restore and long term backup we want to use NetBackup.

What is the best way to backup the Exchange in this scenario?

Thanks

  • Check out the nb guide for Exchange: it'll describe granular recovery and so forth. I dont think you can integrate it somehow with SnapMirror but I could be wrong, though in fairness I read your statement as using snapmirror for DR only.

    I use it for long term backup . Not quite sure how SMirror does your DR: does this mean the design EU/US does not cover DR : we run active / passive and the passive we back up and they will also provide the DR.
