OK, i follow. You can create a job for each datastore though, you have to have a dataset for each, including the datastore you want to backup in source data.
but the DAG is split between two active servers and two passive servers
we backup the passive copy. and EMC is the one that helped setup the backup
DAG everything on server1
DAG everything on server2
but when I have to keep a backup of someone's mailbox I have to keep a whole backup that has that datastore in it.
that's a lot of space when just the datastore would be smaller.
and in my previous software - BACKING UP THE DAG. I could create one job for each datastore. Then if I had to keep anything it was just the datastore and not the whole DAG.

You should backup the DAG not each server by itself.

We are doing Dag backups,
