NMM Exchange - configure a backup per individual databases
Hi folks
just a question for clarification
On page 10
How to configure a backup per individual databases
In this configuration:
Each database including its log files is treated separately without impact on other parallel sessions
What does the sentence mean? You have to create save set separately for logs and dbs or db alone would be able to backup logs auto?
TIA

Hi Thierry,
Adding the database alone is enough. It will obtain the database and its logs.On the Microsoft Exchange server machine if you run the command nsrsnap_vss_save -?, you will see all the possible save sets that you can use.
C:\Users\administrator.NMM>nsrsnap_vss_save -?
NMM .. changing backup name EX10M2 to primary name ex10m2.nmm.com for multi NIC client.
nsrsnap_vss_save: Backup is level FULL. Set GLR compatibility to YES.
List of valid saveset entries for APPLICATIONS on client ex10m2.nmm.com ...
Initializing data to display...
NMM ... Using client name EX10M2, the version of the Exchange server is Exchange 2010.
"APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010\PublicFolderDB""APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010"
"APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010\DB22"
"APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010\DB1"
68150:nsrsnap_vss_save:nsrsnap_vss_save: Exiting with success.
In the example above you can specify save set APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010\DB22 to take backup of database DB22 alone. If you want to backup all the databases DB22,DB1 and PublicFolderDB then you can have save set as APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010

hi Girish
Thanks for the reply...how abt the logs? Are there need to be specified as saveset separately? The logs and dbs are in two different paths....or by specificng db save set alone would pull the logs together automatically...thanks again

Hi TIA,
I hope you have already created Snapshot Policy and Group. To take individual database backup you have to select the Clients tab and then select the machine and go to its properties. For the saveset you have to add the database name.
For example APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010\PrdDb1 . Here PrdDb1 is a database you want to backup. The .edb and the log files will be part of the backup. We don't have to add a separate save set for logs.
Let me know if you need more information.
