Exchange 2010 backup with NMM 2.3
Hi,
Can anyone help me out with Exchange 2010 DAG backup configuration with NMM 2.3 ? I am new to Networker and am not familiar with snapshot technology. Hence i am finding it difficult to understand the related documents.
Please help me out asap.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pratik.

The best approach would be to have support ticket opened then. You might get an answer here, but without knowing what you do it may cause more pain.

As a minimum you should read NMM installation guide, configuration guide, application guide and release notes. They all contain important information and instructions you should be aware of.

NMM 2.3 _is_ the integration agent for exchange 2010, you can perform backups and granular recovery if you set it up as described in the documentation. I don't think we'll see anything else in the near future.

How many Exchange servers are in your DAG cluster environment?
Did you install EMC Config Checker, EMC NetWorker client software and EMC NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications on each member of DAG cluster?
Are there any errors in Config Checker results?
Also, on each server, run as administrator "Command Prompt" and type in: "nsrsnap_vss_save -?" (without quotes). Copy the result as these will be your Save sets when configuring "Backup Clients" on NetWorker server.
On NetWorker server create client resources for each DAG member, and client resource with the FQDN of dag cluster server. For each Networker client resource put recorded save sets (nsrsnap_vss_save). Client resource of FQDN dag name do not configure in any backup groups. In Apps&Modules tab, put nsrsnap_vss_save.exe in Backup command field, and fill in Apllication information box with these information:
NSR_SNAP_TYPE=vss
NSR_EXCH2010_BACKUP=active (or passive if backing up passive databases)
NSR_EXCH2010_DAG=dag.ecample.com
NSR_EXCH_RETAIN_SNAPSHOTS=yes
NSR_ALT_PATH=C:\NMMSnapshot
Hope this helps...

I didn't configure NMM for Exchange in a non-DAG environment, but as I can see in an official EMC documentation, setup is quite straight forward. You should not have any problems configuring backups.
Cosult EMC NetWorker Module for Microsoft Aplications Application Guide. You can download it from powerlink.emc.com, and then Support -> Technical Documentations And Advisories.
Good luck!

Hey Pratik,
Please remember that the backup will NEVER run against the DAG client.
Also please note hat the backup has to be ran only against one node at a time, unless you set NSR_EXCH_BACKUP=passive or active in the 2 nodes (both should have the same value).
Based on the error message I think that the problem resides on the configuration of the client entry "MAHA-MUM-MB01", please check the aliases field of that client as well as in the client you are running the backup against. Check the daemon.raw on the client and you will find some further information (render it so you can read it).
Let me know how it goes.
Thank you.
Carlos.
