Support for VMware backups that protect Exchange Server
Review the following requirements and information for VMware backups that protect Exchange Server:
For details on the support for virtual environments, see the NetBackup Compatibility List.
Either the Veritas VSS provider or the VMware VSS Provider is required. Without one of these providers, database recovery may require manual steps and granular recovery is not supported.
Veritas recommends the Veritas VSS provider for the virtual machines that host Exchange.
VMware backups are supported for standalone Exchange servers and DAGs.
For DAG nodes, NetBackup protects at the node level of a DAG. This behavior is different than for an agent backup, where protection is at the DAG level.
