Backup Exchange and Persistant disk

[etaftm]

Sorry in advance if this has already been posted.

We have Exchange 2007 server with C: as a regular drive and separt LUN for the Exchange DB with Independent Persistent so that a snapshot won't screw up the DB. We also do this with SQL servers as well. Setup a different LUN for the Data and Logs. Anyways with that said, how can you backup these VM's with V5?

Hello Justin,

You need an ability to create snapshots for disk you want to backup, but independent disks as well as physical RDMs are not supported for image-level backup as VMware excludes these disks from snapshot. We have this documented in the release notes: http://www.veeam.com/files/release_note ... _notes.pdf

If you don't want to screw your DBs, please enable application-aware image processing for the backup jobs. Should more information be required, please review the sticked FAQ topic.

Thanks!
