How to add a new exchange mailbox database to a dag member of exchange 2010 dag existing already to backup up the newly added mailbox DB along with old DBs.

[Bharath_Achar]

How to add a new exchange mailbox database to a dag member of exchange 2010 dag existing already to backup up the newly added mailbox DB along with old DBs ????????????????

We have been backing up exchnage 2010 dag using netbackup 7.5.0.4 and till now it ran succesfully and were able to restore.

A week ago, some one from messaging team has added a new mailbox database to an existing dag member from their end.

I have triggered a full backup and got completed succesfully.

But unfortunately the newly added mailbox DB has not backedup alike rest all mailbox DBs backed up.

Any idea, what could be the reason. Is there a partiular way to add a new mailbox DB to DAG memeber inorder to perform backup.

Regards,

Backup succesfully completed with status 0.

Your policy looks good. Next step is to create bpresolver log folder on active node to see how databases are identified. Please post log as File attachment.

[Bharath_Achar]

Quick question,

should i need to run backup again after creating the bpresolver log folder on active node  ????

Regards,

Bharath

[Marianne]

bpresolver will only log information at the beginning of next backup...

You can either wait for next scheduled backup or start a manual backup.

[Bharath_Achar]

Hi Marianne,

Bpresolver log folder is already existing. I have attached the bpresolver.

Hello Nagalla,

Its my bad,

You are absolutely correct, parent stream failed with status 1.

Was a new cluster node added as well?

[Bharath_Achar]

No,

It is the same server i.e swDE209

regads,

bharath

[Marianne]

Suggestion:

Add a User type schedule to your Exchange policy with open window for the next couple of hours.

Log onto server swDE209 as the same user account that is used for NBU services.

Open BAR GUI.

See if you can browse to this database in the Backup window. 
Select the database and start a manual backup.

Let us know what happens.

[Thiago_Pereira]

Did you restart the Netbackup Client installed in all Dag nodes??? Maybe this is your problem. Your policy point to DAG Virtual name?

[Bharath_Achar · Accepted solution]

Hello Everone,

Error :   TRV - BPRESOLVER has executed on server.

Issue has been resolved by adding DAG members in preferred server list under backup policy configuration.

Thanks to all
