Exchange 2007 SCR backup

[jinxnbu]

Hi 

Can I backup Exchange 2007 SCR using the passive node using Netbackup 7.6. Is there any change in how the netbackup policy is created in CCR vs SCR. 

Thanks in advance.

NetBackup for Exchange with Snapshot Client supports backups of the passive VSS writer
of an Exchange 2007 LCR and CCR configuration. NetBackup can back up the data that is
replicated by interfacing with the replica (or passive) Exchange server. The benefit of such
a backup is to reduce I/O effect on the active Exchange server. NetBackup accesses the
replicated data and leaves the active (or live) Exchange server alone. This type of backup is
especially beneficial for a backup of a CCR node because the active node is completely left
out of the backup. VSS is the only backup Microsoft supports of this replicated data.
