Backing Up Unity 4.0(4) with Backup Exec

[zawadzkij]

Question. I have a client who purchased Veritas Backup Exec with SQL,Exchange and remote agent. I need some assistance of where to install the software. Currently running Unity 4.0(4) Unified/Exchange off box. Unity has a Tape drive. Possible Option 1: Install Backup Exec with Sql agent on Unity. Install Remote agent,Exchange agent on the Exchange server. Would this work or does the Exchange agent need to be installed on Unity. Any other suggestions would be great.Thanks.

John,

I can tell you this BackupExec Server software, Exchange Agent, SQL Agent, and Remote agent License keys need to be installed on the BackupExec Server or the server that has a tape drive. If you are going to remotely backup SQL or Exchange

Servers over the wire then you will need to install SQL Management tools and Exchange System Manager on the BACKUP SERVER as well and install SQL and Exchange service packs that you are running on your Exchange and SQL servers. The Service packs only update the management tools that are installed. Then from the Backup server you push out/install the remote agent to your Exchange or SQL servers. If your SQL or Exchange Server are on the Backup Server then you do not need to install the SQL and Exchange tools because they are already installed.
