Ensure that you have set up a storage unit for storing virtual copy backups. For more information,
see the documentation for the backup software you are using.

Configuring Symantec NetBackup

To set up your Symantec NetBackup software, see the Symantec NetBackup documentation.

NOTE:

You must have Symantec NetBackup software version 7.5 with Patch 03 installed for

restore operation using NetBackup to succeed.

To configure Symantec NetBackup to function with HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Exchange, set
the following parameters during the configuration process:

Setting

Backup Policy Parameter

MS-Windows

Policy type

Select the machine on which the Recovery Manager Backup
Server component is installed.

Clients

Add the client to the backup policy by entering NetBIOS
name.

User backup

Type of backup

Activate all the time slots:

Starting times for backups

Modify Day: Mon

Start Time: 12:00:00AM

End Day: Sun

End Time: 12:00:00AM

Duration (days): 7

NOTE:

The use of a NetBackup Media Servers is supported in this version.

NOTE:

If the Windows Open File Backup option in NetBackup is enabled, the NetBackup client

takes additional temporary read-only (RO) and read/write (RW) snapshots on your base volumes.
After the backup process is complete, Windows displays this event message: Target LUN is
not a 3PAR Virtual Volume.

To deactivate this function, disable the Windows Open File Backup in NetBackup.

NOTE:

If NetBackup media and master server are installed on two separate hosts, then you must

ensure that the connectivity between media and master is well established.

From NBU media server, connect to NBU master server, select catalog option and try to pull out
backup list (BP image list) from media server. If you do not perform this test, NBU removes the
valid image list from repository when you perform analyze NBU backup operation.

NOTE:

If you plan on backing up multiple Mailbox Databases using NetBackup and HP 3PAR

Recovery Manager for Exchange, you need a different policy for each storage group that will be
backed up at the same time. For example, if the first backup of Mailbox Database One has not
yet completed, then for the backup of Mailbox Database Two to be performed correctly by HP
3PAR Recovery Manager for Exchange and NetBackup, it must use a different policy.
