Does Symantec System recovery support MS Exchange DAG backup?

[frank_niu]

I know Backup Exec does, but we really need to find out if System Recovery can do the job.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for your reply.

But the link you provide is for Backup exec, and the attachment is for NetBackup.

The product I ask is Symantec System Recovery 2011. I don't think they are the same thing...

Regards,

Frank

The list just states that the software ia compatible with MS Exchange and Windows servers. There is nothing related to DAG backup functions.

I saw that forum post before I open this one, that user was using Backup Exec to backup DAG, not Symantec System Recovery.

thanks anyway for your effort.

you can check in forums.

Environment

I DID. Many times in fact.

The user was using BACKUP EXEC. The post is UNDER the BACKUP EXEC forum:

Discussion Filed Under:

Backup and Recovery, Backup Exec - 2010, Backup Exec, Backing Up, Troubleshooting

One of the replies even ask him to disable System Recovery!! Did you check that?

He had System Recovery installed in his enviroment DOES NOT mean the backup is running by System Recovery.

Yes, this is supported with SSR 2011.

As long as the versions of Windows & Exchange are listed on the SCL, you will be supported.

Yes. SSR 2011 supported Exchange 2010 DAG.

Granular Restore Option for Exchange required Outlook 32bit to be installed.
