Exchange granular operations and the NetBackup media server

Certain requirements exist for the media server when you perform operations with Granular Recovery Technology (GRT).

The media server requires configuration of the following:

  • Network File System (NFS)

    Note that operations on a snapshot copy of the image do not require NFS because it uses the primary copy.

  • The client(s) must have the same version of Windows as the client from which the backup is made.

  • If you use an Exchange granular proxy server, the mailbox servers and the proxy host must also meet the following additional requirements:

    • If you use a master or a media server as a proxy server you must add the proxy server to the Distributed Application Restore Mapping. (This configuration is in the master server host properties.) This list must also include any NetBackup client that mounts the backup image or initiates a restore operation.

    • Have the same NetBackup version

    • Use the same NetBackup master server
