Networker Exchange 2016 IP-less DAG configuration check
I want to see if my configuration is valid and makes sense, so any input or suggestions from those who've done this before are appreciated.
2 Exchange 2016 servers on Windows Server 2012 R2
1 DAG hosting it's own active and the other server's passive DB
Networker server 8.2.3.1
NMM Client 9.0.1.0 on each Exchange server
NMM Exchange Admin Configuration tool passes on each server
Client Setup
Each Exchange server also has a traditional client which backs up only the c drive and the DR partition.
One server is configured as an Exchange server NMC. During the configuration, Networker recognized the DAG and I set a preferred server list for backups. Upon completion, it notified that it had installed on the second server as well.
My biggest question is, do I need to create another client for the second server in NMC? I'm thinking not, since the original client recognized both servers and should backup all DBs in the DAG. I selected Preferred Passive for the backup type.
Also, suggestions as to whether or not I should do incrementals with a monthly full or just do a full every day? It's a fairly small setup with about 120 users, so space is less of a factor than quick/complete restore ability.
Any other suggestions from those with experience are welcome, just looking for some validation here.
