NetWorker Support for Exchange 2010

Question

A new solution is now available for protecting Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 with NetWorker.  This provides early adopters of this new application with a basic protection option in advance of support planned for the next release of the NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications.  This is made available via a small NetWorker plug-in and an EMC Technical Note, and is supplemented by step-by-step backup and recovery instructions in the NetWorker Procedure Generator. With it NetWorker users gain: Full backup support for Exchange 2010 server, database, and volume levels Database Availability Group (DAG) support including DAG Active Node and Passive Node backups Optional Exchange consistency checks VSS software provider support Server and database recovery Recovery Database (RDB) recovery Directed database recovery Mailbox level recovery via RDBs and Exchange tools Deduplication via Avamar or Data Domain The new solution is available for use with NetWorker 7.5 SP2 and requires the software plug-in and the NetWorker client software.  For full details and download information read the Microsoft Exchange 2010 Backup and Recovery Support with EMC NetWorker Technical Note on Powerlink.

Today EMC released an update the Exchange plug-in - 1.1 - to enable incremental incremental (log) backup support. Enhanced logging and diagnostics, changes to the format of the save set name and updates to the EMC NetWorker Procedure Generator are also included in the release.

NetWorker and the Exchange 2010 Plug-in v1.1 have been qualified for use with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008. The NetWorker Compatibility Guide will be updated soon to reflect this change.
