Exchange Off-Host VSS Backups
Offhost backup enables Backup Exec to move backup processing from the
host computer, which is the remote computer that contains the volumes
selected for backup, to the Backup Exec media server. The offhost backup
creates a snapshot of the volume or volumes that are selected for backup on
the remote computer. The snapshots are then imported to the media server,
where they are backed up.
The following requirements must be met to use offhost backup.
Media server:
• Backup Exec for Windows Servers version 10.0 or later
• Backup Exec Advanced Disk-based Backup Option
• Backup Exec Advanced Open File Option
• Agent for Exchange
Exchange Server:
• Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers version 10.0 or later
Media server and the Exchange Server:
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard, Datacenter, or Enterprise
with Service Pack 1 (or later)
• Most recent Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) patches.
