Using physical node names in the clients list
The most reliable method to back up mailbox servers in a cluster or DAG is to use the virtual Exchange name. However, if necessary you can use a node name (physical server name) in the policy rather than the virtual name. Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) is supported.
The following limitations and conditions exist when you use the physical node name:
The backup of the databases is redirected to the server that hosts them and is cataloged under the host name. (Note: The databases are cataloged under the host name and not the DAG virtual name.)
Use a node name that the NetBackup servers can contact.
The backup selections list in the policy must contain
Microsoft Exchange Database Availability Groups:\database name. The list can contain more than entry, but each database must be explicitly specified. The use ofMicrosoft Exchange Database Availability Groups:\orMicrosoft Exchange Database Availability Groups:\*is not permitted.Restores can be redirected to either a DAG virtual name or the physical node name.
