You can use Recovery Manager to register Exchange Server databases from the following types of backups created with NetWorker:
Recovery Manager provides the following methods for extracting and registering Exchange Server databases from streaming backups created with EMC Legato NetWorker:
Method 1: Use Direct Access to NetWorker Server. Allows you to connect to an EMC Legato NetWorker Server and extract and register Exchange Server databases from backups held on the server.
This method does not have as many prerequisites as Method 2, yet the storage registration operation performed using Method 1 might take longer.
Method 2: Use Exchange Server Emulation. Allows you to run Exchange Server emulation on the Recovery Manager computer so that it appears as an Exchange Server to NetWorker. After that, you can perform directed recovery: redirect the restore operation to the Recovery Manager computer, extract Exchange Server databases, and then register them with Recovery Manager.
In most cases, Method 2 allows you to complete the storage registration operation faster than Method 1. However, Method 2 has more prerequisites and therefore requires more effort than Method 1.
Both these methods let you register storages only from streaming backups created with NetWorker.
Method 1: Use Direct Access to NetWorker Server
Before using this method, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
•Recovery Manager and NetWorker Server are installed on the same computer or on different computers that can access each other over the network by NetBIOS and DNS names.
•NetWorker Client is installed and properly configured on the Recovery Manager computer. Make sure the Client can connect to and interact with NetWorker Server and has access to the backups holding the Exchange Server databases you want to register with Recovery Manager. For more information on how to install and configure NetWorker Client, see the documentation supplied with your version of NetWorker.
For details on registering storages using direct access to NetWorker Server consult the "Working with EMC Legato NetWorker" section in the Recovery Manager for Exchange user guide include with your download.
Method 2: Use Exchange Server Emulation
Before using this method, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
•Recovery Manager and NetWorker Server are installed on the same computer or on different computers that can access each other over the network by NetBIOS and DNS names.
•NetWorker Client is installed and properly configured on the Recovery Manager computer. Make sure the Client can connect to and interact with NetWorker Server and has access to the backups that include the Exchange Server databases you want to register with Recovery Manager.
For more information on how to install and configure NetWorker Client, see the documentation supplied with your version of NetWorker.
•NetWorker Module for Microsoft Exchange Server is installed on the Recovery Manager computer. Make sure the Module can connect to and interact with NetWorker Server.
For more information on how to install and configure NetWorker Module for Microsoft Exchange Server, see the documentation supplied with your version of NetWorker.
•The user account under which you will be running NetWorker Module for Exchange Server has sufficient privileges to perform directed recovery.
For more information on directed recovery, see the documentation supplied with your version of NetWorker Module for Microsoft Exchange Server.
•Microsoft Exchange Management Tools supplied with the Exchange Server version you want to emulate are installed on the Recovery Manager computer. Check to make sure that no other components of Exchange Server are installed on the Recovery Manager computer.
