Hi
The below is the nbu envt i have.
1 Master, 4 Exchange DAG nodes which are also media servers. Each DAG node has its own DSSU.
I have 12 exchange DBs which are spread across these 4 media servers. My policy is setup in such a way that each server backups 3 DBs.
DAG node A - DB1, DB2, DB3
DAG node B - DB4 , DB5 , DB6 .. and so on for the other nodes
While configuring DB4 backup as an example i have targetted the node B disk storage unit.
However if DB4 moves over to DAG node A then i want that the backup be done on the Disk attached to node A so that the data does not go over the network.
As per my understanding from admin guide "The locally available storage units take precedence over the defined sequence of storage units
in the group".
So in regards to my configuration above will it be fair to conclude that if i create a storage unit group (all basic disk stu) then if the DB moves around between the DAG nodes the backups will be to local disks and not over LAN.
Thanks in advance.
