NetBackup client requirements for NetBackup for Exchange
This topic describes where you need to install the NetBackup client and the version required to perform backups of Exchange server.
To use the new features that are included in NetBackup for Exchange in NetBackup 8.1.2, you must upgrade your NetBackup for Exchange clients to NetBackup 8.1.2. The NetBackup media server must use the same version as the NetBackup for Exchange client or a higher version than the client.
Install the NetBackup client software on the following:
The Exchange mailbox servers, or on all VMs that are Exchange mailbox servers
If you plan to use Granular Recovery Technology (GRT), install the NetBackup client on any mailbox servers that perform browse or restore operations.
Each node in the Exchange cluster or DAG
(Non-VMware backups) Any off-host clients
For VMware operations, when you upgrade the client software you must install the latest version of the Veritas VSS provider. If you have an existing version of the provider, you must first uninstall the old version.
