About selecting a source client for an Exchange Server backup operation
When you back up from a standalone server or non-virtual environment, you do not need to select or add a particular source client. However, for backups of an Exchange cluster or DAG environment to be successful, you must provide the virtual client name. When you use the NetBackup Administration Console or the Java-based Backup, Archive, and Restore client, log on with the virtual client name. Or if you use the Windows-based client, select the virtual client name in the Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type dialog box.
