NetBackup server requirements for NetBackup for Exchange

To use the new features that are included with the NetBackup for Exchange Agent 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.

Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup server:

  • The NetBackup server software is installed and operational on the NetBackup server. The NetBackup server platform can be any that NetBackup supports.

    See the NetBackup Installation Guide.

  • Make sure that you configure any backup media that the storage unit uses.

    The number of media volumes that are required depends on several things:

    • The devices used

    • The sizes of the databases that you want to back up

    • The amount of data that you want to archive

    • The size of your backups

    • The frequency of backups or archives

    See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
