PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Microsoft Exchange Server User Guide

For centralized restores to an alternate host, ensure that the alternate host is a Microsoft Exchange Server host that is a discovered asset of PowerProtect Data Manager.

During the centralized restore to an alternate host, if the alternate host is not included in the list of available hosts, ensure that the Microsoft application agent is installed and configured on the alternate host according to the following instructions. The Microsoft Exchange Server host must be registered to the same PowerProtect Data Manager server.

PowerProtect Data Manager applies the following concurrency rules for jobs associated with a single-database centralized restore, including any backup, restore, and manual agent installation jobs that you run on the same host:

• If an asset backup is in progress, the Microsoft Exchange Server restore against the same asset is queued.
• If the Microsoft Exchange Server restore against an asset is in progress, the backup against the same asset is queued.

Application agent manual installation and configuration

When you want to restore to a host that is not part of a protection policy, you must manually install and configure the Microsoft application agent on the target host of the restore.

Ensure that the target host meets the following prerequisites:

• A Windows OS is running.
• The Microsoft Exchange Server is installed and running.
• The system account has the same security configuration as required for backup.
• The network ports are configured as required for backup.

Before you manually install and configure the application agent, ensure that the Windows account credentials are set at the asset level, not the protection policy level.
