Microsoft Exchange Server Writer Specific
Configuration
A backup of the Microsoft Exchange database can be considered
successful only if the consistency check of the replicated datafiles
succeeds.
It is recommended that the database stores and transaction logs reside
on different source volumes. In this case, you can restore only stores and
perform roll-forward recovery, Otherwise, if both are on the same source
volume, all data residing on this volume must be restored.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Configuration in
LCR Environment
When configuring an LCR environment, ensure that the original
database and the database copy have the same directory structure for
their files. Otherwise, after restore of an LCR copy to original database,
mounting of the database will not be correct.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Configuration in
CCR Environment
If you have a CCR environment where a production database resides on
a different EVA disk array than its copy and if the backup system is
different from the application system, ensure that:
• The backup system is connected to the same disk array where the
replicas (volume shadow copies) of backup objects (either production
database or database copy) will be created. For example, if you back
up the production database, the backup system must be connected to
the same disk array on which the production database resides. If you
back up the database copy, then the backup system must be connected
to the same disk array on which the database copy resides.
• The VSS/VDS hardware provider is configured for the same
Command View on both EVAs due to the hardware provider
limitation, which can detect only one EVA disk array.
Otherwise, the presentation of replicas to the backup system fails and
consequently the backup session fails.
