Exchange Off-Host VSS Backups

Offhost backup enables Backup Exec to move backup processing from the host computer, which is the remote computer that contains the volumes selected for backup, to the Backup Exec media server. The offhost backup creates a snapshot of the volume or volumes that are selected for backup on the remote computer. The snapshots are then imported to the media server, where they are backed up.

The following requirements must be met to use offhost backup.

Media server:

Backup Exec for Windows Servers version 10.0 or later

Backup Exec Advanced Disk-based Backup Option

Backup Exec Advanced Open File Option

Agent for Exchange

Exchange Server:

Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers version 10.0 or later

Media server and the Exchange Server:

Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard, Datacenter, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 (or later)

Most recent Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) patches.
