Adding clients to a NetBackup for Exchange policy

The clients list contains a list of the clients that are backed up during an automatic backup. A NetBackup client must be in at least one policy but can be in more than one.

For a NetBackup for Exchange policy, clients you want to add must have the following software installed:

  • Exchange Server

  • NetBackup client or server

Additional requirements exist for any clients that use Granular Recovery Technology.

See Exchange granular clients and non-VMware backups .

To add clients to a NetBackup for Exchange policy

  1. In the Policy dialog box, click the Clients tab.

    To access the Policy dialog box, double-click the policy name in the Policies list in the NetBackup Administration Console.

  2. Click New.
  3. Type the name of the client and click Add.

    Note the following:

    • If Exchange is clustered or in a Database Availability Group (DAG), specify the virtual Exchange name that represents that cluster or DAG.

    • For off-host backups, the client name should be the name of the primary client.

  4. To add another client, repeat step 2.
  5. If this client is the last client you want to add, click OK.
  6. In the Policy dialog box, click Close.
