Requirements for protecting Microsoft Exchange, SQL, and Active Directory data on virtual machines

Backup Exec can back up and restore individual items from VSS-aware applications that are installed on virtual machines.

The following items are required to protect data for Microsoft Exchange, SQL, and Active Directory on virtual machines:

  • The Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Systems must be installed on the virtual machine.

  • The correct number of licenses must be entered for the applications that you want to protect on the virtual machines.
