Add settings for centralized backups of
Microsoft Exchange Server DAG
For centralized backups of databases in a
Microsoft Exchange Server DAG, add the required settings for the type of backup and the server order list.
About this task
You can specify one of three types of DAG backups:
Passive backup
Active backup
Preferred passive backup
NOTE The default backup type is preferred.
You can also specify the server order list for the order in which the DAG servers are backed up.
Perform the following steps to specify the settings for centralized
Microsoft Exchange Server DAG backups.
Steps
Create a file named
userlockbox.cfg in the required directory:
When the Microsoft application agent is installed in the default directory, create the
userlockbox.cfg file in the
C:\Program Files\DPSAPPS\common\lockbox directory.
When the Microsoft application agent is installed in a non-default directory, add the
common\lockbox subdirectory in the installation directory and create the
userlockbox.cfg file in the
<installation_directory>\common\lockbox directory.
Ensure that the
userlockbox.cfg file exists on each node in the
Microsoft Exchange Server DAG.
In the
userlockbox.cfg file, add the following parameter settings:
Specify the type of DAG backup in the
backuptype parameter setting. The valid parameter setting is active, passive, or preferred. For example:
backuptype=passive
NOTE If you do not set this parameter, the backup type is preferred by default:
backuptype=preferred
Specify the DAG server order list in the
serverorderlist parameter setting. The valid parameter setting is a comma-separated list of node names. Use only the short name, not the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), for each node name. For example:
serverorderlist=node1,node2
