Note that there are two writers available on the system. Microsoft Exchange Replica Writer is used for

backup of passive databases and Microsoft Exchange Writer is used for backup of active databases.

For each server that is part of the Database Availability Group it is required to have an On-line

Extension for ONE Windows / Linux system license. Additionally, as many terabytes of Windows

Zero Downtime Backup licenses as the amount of protected LUNs’ size is needed (excluding LUNs

used by passive database copies).

Create Exchange 2010 Data Protector backup specification

New backup specification for Exchange 2010 backup can be created by right-clicking the MS

Exchange 2010 Server folder under the Backup Specification folder (see

Figure 33). In earlier

versions of Data Protector, Exchange backups are configured using the MS Virtual Shadow Copy

Writers folder. Due to backward-compatibility reasons, this is also supported in Data Protector 6.2,

but it is not recommended. In the first window, in the Backup options area select VSS transportable

backup as Backup type if a dedicated backup server should be used. Or, if you would like to use the

application server (for example, the server holding only passive database copies) to also perform the

backup to media, select Local or network backup for backup type.
