HP Data Protector A.06.11 support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010

3
To be able to back up passive copies (which need the Exchange Replica Writer) using a VSS
transportable backup, ensure that Microsoft Exchange Management tools are installed on the
backup system or copy the following files from the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 installation to
the backup system:
Ese.dll, Eseutil.exe, Exchmem.dll
and set the path to the installation folder using the omnirc variable
OB2VSS_EXCHANGE_ESEUTIL_PATH.
Licensing
As you need to back up individual clients, you need one online-extension license for each system
on which the Data Protector MS Volume Shadow Copy Integration component is installed.
Configuring
To configure the integration for ZDB and ensure that disk resolving works, it is recommended that
you run the following command on the clients that you will back up from:
omnidbvss –resolve –apphost ClientName
where ClientName is the name of the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 system, for example
server1.company.com. For details, see the omnidbvss reference page.
If the command is not run in advance, Data Protector will automatically run this command during
the first ZDB session which may slow down the backup session.
Backup
With Data Protector A.06.11, you can back up an entire Exchange Writer or Exchange Replica
Writer on a physical client or individual Mailbox Database copies (either active or passive).
You cannot select the database files or logs of a Mailbox Database individually.
The following Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 backup types are supported:
Full
Incremental (only with the software provider)
Differential (only with the software provider)
Copy
Limitations
From the GUI, the additional options Perform consistency check and Throttle check for
1 second cannot be set for the Microsoft Exchange Replica Writer.
The Perform consistency check option is enabled by default.
For ZDB, the Strict and Non-strict configuration check modes are not supported. Select
Disabled in the Configuration check mode drop-down list to disable the check. When this
option is disabled, Data Protector does not check if there are files on the source volume that
were not selected for backup or instant recovery.
You cannot combine a backup chain from full and incremental backups from different Microsoft
Exchange servers. You can also not combine a restore chain from passive and active copies.
