There is now a new wizard for adding server, go to “backup and restore” node and select add from the servers section:įrom there you get the new add server wizard, you got 2 options either add server which you use if you have a single Exchange server or Microsoft Exchange Database Availability group and you use this option if you have DAG, in my lab I don’t have a dag so I will go with the add server: I got to admit that I was so impressed with the new BE interface, it was “WOOOOOOOOOOOW”, and they did good work with it, it is simple and intuitive and I managed to find everything super fast.

Installing the Backup Exec 2012 Agent on the Server: To Backup Exchange 2010 using Backup Exec 2012, you need to make sure that the Exchange management console is installed, you have to make sure that the EMC version is the same as the backed up server version.

For Exchange 2003 the account must also be granted the Exchange Administrator, or Exchange Full Administrator role.

In addition, the logon account must have a unique mailbox and the mailbox can NOT be hidden from the Global Address List. For GRT backups to a tape device and ALL GRT restore operations, from tape or disk, the logon account specified must be a member of the local Administrators group on the Exchange server. For GRT (Granular Restore Technology) enabled backups to disk (where the disk device is local to the BE Media Server and in the same domain) the logon account specified must be a member of the local Administrators group on the Exchange serverĤ.

For non-GRT backups (database only with no granular restore functionality) the logon account specified must be a member of the local Backup Operators group on the Exchange serverĢ.
