Information for Microsoft Exchange Cluster Environments

In addition to the local installation requirements, the following points apply to cluster installations:

•The Remote Agent for Windows Systems is installed on each node of the Exchange cluster. Once installed, the Agent is cluster aware and will recognize and manage the Exchange virtual server backups (EVS)

•Any subsequent Symantec patches or Hotfixes must be applied to the Media server, then pushed out by Remote Agent to each individual node.

•The Backup Exec Continuous Protection Server does not currently support Exchange clusters, this support is planned for a future release.

•When configuring backup jobs, select the Exchange virtual server name (EVS) rather than the Exchange node name.

Symantec™ Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers - Agent for Exchange Server redefines traditional Exchange data protection, minimizing daily Exchange backup windows with VSS-based backups.

•Minimizes daily backup windows for Exchange with VSS-based backups.

•VSS off-host snapshot backups minimize impact on production Exchange servers.
