We are starting to move mailboxes to Exchange 2013 in our environment and I would like to start backing it up using BE2014. I went to install Ex2013 mgmt tools and it complained that there is already Ex2010 tools installed. I don't want to stop backing up Ex2010 yet but at the same time cannot go without backups for new Exch2013.
Is there a workaround?
Options
1. Do I have to do windows backup(role) based for Ex2013 till I could migrate over? Then backup the files.
2. Or Bring in new BE2014 and backup to separate volume and then move it back?
Thanks

If I am not mistaken, there is no requirement to load the Exchange 2013 EMT. However, your media server needs to be on a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit server or newer.
Have you tried backing up your Exchange 2013 and restoring some mailboxes?

The DAG is discovered and added to backup server list but the test account failed with Communication Error.
So I fixed it by removing and adding DAG. The first time I added the servers were not added, only the dag object was. I did restart MBX servers after installing agents but it didn;t show up. So removing and adding back fixed the issue. Now I can ru backups.
