We're attempting to back up Exchange 2007 using CCR. I've had my Exchange admin create the necessasry registry keys, and I've performed the steps in NetBackup that are listed in the following t/n:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/329318.htm
All of the necessary Exchange accounts have been created to allow the NBU client sufficient access to perform the backups.

I had a screenshot but I can't get it to paste, of the Exchange client properties of the virtual cluster server, so I'll just say that I have the "Backup the passive copy and if not available backup the active copy (recommended)" options chosen. I've checked and it appears that the client name under host properites is pointing to the correct physical node.
Before I changed to take snapshot backups, I was backing up Exchange on the active node, like you do when backing up Exchange 2003, but when I switched everything over it started failing exit status 72.
Any ideas? If you guys need more information let me know and I'll try to get it - I'm not even sure what log file I should check out.
Thanks
