Hi All,
I have a request to utilize flash backup for exchange server 2003. I am using netbackup v5.1mp5 and I checked out netbackup for exchange server doc and found below limitations & notes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backup Limitations
The following limitations exist when using NetBackup Advanced Client with NetBackup
for Exchange Server.
? Snapshot backups are supported only for the full Information Store or storage groups.
Snapshot backups are not supported for Exchange mailboxes, the Site Replication
Service (SRS), the Key Management Service (KMS), or public folders.
? Differential and cumulative backups are not supported.
? Individual databases cannot be selected for backup or restore. The entire Information
store or a storage group must be selected for backup or the backup job will fail.
Notes
? Only Exchange objects will be included in a snapshot backup.
? Databases need to be mounted for backup.
? Advanced Client uses the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
? Only Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003 is supported.
? Backups cannot be restored to an alternate location.
? A restore to an Exchange Recovery storage group is not supported.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I am concerning "Backups cannot be restored to an alternate location", could anybody tell me if it indicates restore cann't be restored to an alternate client or just an alternate path? if it can only be restored to original client that will be a big problem for me.
thanks!
