PowerProtect Data Manager 19.13 Microsoft Exchange Server User Guide

Microsoft Exchange Server data protection and replication requirements

PowerProtect Data Manager can manage and monitor data protection and replication for Microsoft Exchange Server assets through integration with the Microsoft application agent.

After installing the Microsoft application agent, review the following information for additional requirements before adding the Microsoft application agent as an asset source in PowerProtect Data Manager and discovering the Microsoft Exchange Server assets.

Verify that the environment meets the following requirements:

• Ensure that all clocks on the Microsoft Exchange Server host, domain controller, and PowerProtect Data Manager are time-synced to the local NTP server to ensure discovery of the backups.
• Ensure that the Microsoft Exchange Server and the PowerProtect Data Manager system network can see and resolve each other.
• Ensure that port 7000 is open on the Microsoft Exchange Server host.
• Ensure that DNS is configured correctly on the application agent host for the Microsoft Exchange Server.
• Ensure that DNS is configured correctly on the PowerProtect Data Manager host and the name resolution matches.
