EMC Neworker 8.2.1 & Exchange 2010 backup
Hello All -
Would anybody be able to help step me through configuring/fixing my backup? I have EMC Networker 8.2.1 and likewise for the NMM client.
I've inherited a broken backup of Excange 2010 - it doesn't work. I've read through the EMC .pdf documents on "Exchange VSS" and "EMC networker 8.2.1." I'm new to the product which doesn't help. I've dug through discussions and googled suggestions, etc...
My Exchange environment is Exchange 2010, configured with a DAG : So 2 servers have a database, one active DB & one passive DB.
I am initially just setting up a backup on the one server that holds the active copy of the database.
The "NMM Config Checker" report on my exchange server looks clean.
On the EMC server, I've walked thru both the "Configuration -> Clients ->" GUI client wizard and by hand using 'properties' to edit....using the PDF files as a guideline.
One problem I see is that if I right click the client and pick "Check Snapshot Configuration" the response is "Required Attribute Missing".
I guess that's one of many issues.
Well, any help, or places to start - - or logs I can share....I'm open to it.
-thanks
Bob

It would help if you post your settings for the client, especially in the Apps & Modules tab.

Okay will post below. For now I'd just like to succeed in whatever is the simplest backup, just to see something working.
Apps & Modules tab:
Backup command : nsrsnap_vss_save
Application Information:
NSR_SNAP_TYPE=vss
CIRCULAR_PROMOTION_POLICY=Promote
NSR_ALT_PATH=e:\temp
NSR_EXCH2010_BACKUP=active
NSR_EXCH2010_DAG=sgdag.mycompany.com
NSR_EXCH_CHECK=no
If I go to "Monitoring" and pick the exchange server and view the failed messages from last night I have a lot of feedback but most of it I do not understand.

zabagar,
For starters the NetWorker server sgntwrk01.mycompany.com does not seem to be responding to the backups requests. Can you try doing a filesystem backup for the system sgmbx01.inspro.com?

Thanks for the reply. I just tried a simple file backup which worked. Our EMC networker probably backs-up a few dozen machines at least...some just file server, some SQL....various roles. I removed this server "sgmbx01" from the "clients" list in networker, then re-added it so I could start fresh. I set it up to just back up a few loose files, no problem. I just matched the settings on this server with an existing file server that I know already gets backed up successfully. So the test backup worked. Did a test restore too.
