This mode is available for selection if Agent for Exchange is installed on each node of the
cluster.
In this mode, the software will back up data from the active copy of the database or the
storage group. If the active copy is not available at the moment, the backup will fail.
Backing up data from active copies may slow down the Exchange server performance, but
the backed up data will be in the most up-to-date state.
Passive (replica)
This mode is available for selection if Agent for Exchange is installed on each node of the
cluster.
In this mode, the software will back up data from one of the available passive database or
storage group replicas (if several). Also, specify what to do if all the passive copies are
unavailable at the moment: either Back up active copy, or Fail the task.
Backing up passive copies does not affect the Exchange server performance and allows you
to extend the backup window. However, passive copies may contain information that is not
up-to-date, because such copies are often set to be updated asynchronously (lagged).
The selected node
This mode is available for selection if all items selected for backup are hosted on a single
node or if the console is directly connected to the agent.
In this mode, you specify the cluster node manually. Choose this mode only if you are
absolutely sure that the data will not be relocated to another cluster node. If the data
changes its location before or during the backup, the task will fail.
8. Under Plan parameters, click Plan's credentials and specify the user account under which the
plan will run.
When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also specify the domain
name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain).
9. For information about specifying the rest of backup plan settings (replication, retention, and
validation of backups), refer to the product help system or guides for Acronis Backup & Recovery
11.5 Advanced Editions.
10. Click OK to create the backup plan.
8.5 Recovering data to the Exchange cluster
To recover the data, the administrator can connect the console either to the management server, or
to any cluster node directly.
To configure data recovery to the Exchange cluster
1. Connect the console to the required cluster node, and click Recover.
2. Under What to recover, select the data to recover as described in the "Selecting data to recover"
(p. 31) section.
3. Under Where to recover, in Browse, specify the cluster to recover the data to. After you specify
the cluster and click OK, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 automatically selects the cluster node
that will perform the recovery. The node's name is displayed in the Browse field.
Notes for recovering storage groups or databases:
Original location
The original path for a storage group or a database means the same Exchange cluster from
which the storage group or database has been backed up (regardless of the cluster nodes
