Exchange 2003 Backup

[Martin_Ouimet]

Hello

I have a Microsoft Windows 2003 Std. SP2 running Exchange 2003 SP2 and I would like to back it up at storage group level. My Backupexec Media server is running Microsoft Windows 2003 Std. SP2 as well. The problem is that when I try to make my selection I only see Brick Level backup. Anybody has an idea?

The brick level option isn't helpful for my purpose!

The Exchange Agent option is installed on my Media server and the Remote BackupExec Agent is installed on the Microsoft Exchange server.

There is not credential problem since the brick level backup is working fine.

Thanks,

Martin Ouimet

Hi,
there is no error! I just don't see the information store in the selection pane!

But I see the brick level and it works fine!

I read in the Backupexec manual that brick level backup isn't good for disaster recovery so I want to change it to back it up at information store level.

Any advice?

Do you have Exchange Admin installed on the media server?

It's been a while since I was involved in backing up Exchange, but that used to be a requirement.


Also, from Tools\Options\Exchange, verify that "Enable Exchange Backup" is selected

Yes all the prerequisis are installed and Exchange Admin is installed on my server.


There is no option "Enable Exchange Backup" where you told me.

The only option I have is this "Enable single instance backup for message attachement"

Any advice?

Hi Martin,


Is your Media Server and Exchange Server using NDMP Port 10000? If not please change it to 10000.

Please refer to the following document. This document should help you in seeing Information Store.

"How to enable support for "Restrict Anonymous" when using Backup Exec 8.6, 9.x, and 10.x for Windows Servers "

Please revert incase of any doubts.


Thanks.
