After much research on this one I am confused as to the exact requirements to backup Exchange 2007/2010 running on a Virtual Machine, with GRT, to a 52xx Appliance.
I have a simple Exchange environment (single server running all roles) running on a W2K8R2 VM, The Master Server is 7506 on W2K8R2 running on Virtual, and the appliance (media server) is 252.
I believe that the following steps are required:
1. Ensure that NFS role is installed on the Exchange VM (NFS should already be there on the appliance)
2. Install NBU Client on the Exchange VM
3. Ensure that the client services are running with a user having Exchange Admin access
4. Create a VMware policy and check the Exchange Application box on the VMware tab, and truncate logs option (schedule must be full backup)
Is that it, or am I missing something ?
