As described in Single-location Database Availability Group (DAG), creating the Virtual Client for managing the DAG installs the Plug‑in for Exchange on each node included in the cluster. During this process, verify that the NetVault Backup Client is installed on each node and that each NetVault Backup Client is added to the Virtual Client that you create for the DAG. This process ensures that the applicable databases are not excluded from the backup process.
The Virtual Client creation process is not plug-in-specific, and you can find complete details in the topic dedicated to cluster functionality in the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide. However, the process is different if you are using any type of high-availability deployment that has an administrative access point versus a DAG deployment that does not use an access point.

Only include relevant cluster nodes in the Virtual Client: The hosts that are to be included in the creation of a Virtual Client should only be those nodes or Exchange Mailbox Servers that make up the DAG, SCC, or CCR deployment. During the creation of the Virtual Client, you can specify either the IP address of the Exchange virtual cluster or the name of the Exchange virtual cluster. After the creation of the Virtual Client, the plug-in is transferred to all designated cluster nodes and installed locally. The installed Plug‑in for Exchange can be used through the Virtual Client to back up and restore the DAG, SCC, or CCR deployment. |
• |
Assign a name to the Virtual Client: Quest strongly recommends that the Virtual Server network name assigned to the Exchange Server be used as the NetVault Backup Virtual Client name. When a Virtual Client is browsed, NetVault Backup locates the node currently in control of the clustered application, and reveals the Exchange Server Instance. With a Virtual Client name set up as the Exchange Server Virtual Server network name, it is easier to recognize the Exchange Server Instance for which the Virtual Client was created. |
