Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Exchange properties

The Exchange properties apply to the currently selected Windows clients. For clustered or replicated environments, configure the same settings for all nodes. If you change the attributes for the virtual server name, only the DAG host server is updated.

For complete information on these options, see the NetBackup for Exchange Server Administrator's Guide.

Property

Description

Snapshot verification I/O throttle

This property only applies to MS-Exchange-Server backup policies with Exchange 2007. This version of Exchange is no longer supported.

Backup option for log files during full backups

Note:

This property only applies to MS-Exchange-Server backup policies.

Choose which logs to include with snapshot backups:

  • Back up only uncommitted log files

  • Back up all log files (including committed log files)

Truncate log after successful Instant Recovery backup

Note:

This property only applies to MS-Exchange-Server backup policies.

Enable this option to delete transaction logs after a successful Instant Recovery backup. By default, transaction logs are not deleted for a full Instant Recovery backup that is snapshot only.

Exchange granular proxy host

Note:

This property applies when you duplicate or browse a backup that uses Granular Recovery Technology (GRT).

You can specify a different Windows system to act as a proxy for the source client when you duplicate or browse a backup (with bplist) that uses GRT. Use a proxy if you do not want to affect the source client or if it is not available.

For complete information on this option, see the NetBackup for Exchange Server Administrator's Guide.

Enable single instance backup for message attachments

Note:

This property only applies to MS-Exchange-Server backup policies with Exchange 2007. This version of Exchange is no longer supported.

Perform consistency check before backup with Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)

Disable this option if you do not want to perform a consistency check during a DAG backup. If you check Continue with backup if consistency check fails, NetBackup continues to perform the backup even if the consistency check fails.

Exchange credentials

Note the following for this property:

  • This property applies to MS-Exchange-Server and VMware backup policies with Exchange recovery.

  • You must configure this property if you want to use GRT.

Provide the credentials for the account for NetBackup Exchange operations. This account must have the necessary permissions to perform Exchange restores. The permissions that are required depend on the Exchange version that you have. The account also needs the right to "Replace a process level token."

For complete information on this property, see the NetBackup for Exchange Server Administrator's Guide.
