Adding Exchange Servers and database availability groups to the list of servers on the Backup and Restore tab

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
You can add an Exchange Server and a database availability group (DAG) to the list of servers on the Backup and Restore tab so that these servers can be selected for backup jobs. When you select the Add option in the Servers and Virtual Hosts group on the Backup and Restore tab, you can add Microsoft Windows computers and servers.
Note: When you add a Microsoft Exchange database availability group, Veritas recommends that you manually restart each Exchange Server after installing the Agent for Windows. If you select to automatically restart after install, all of your Exchange Servers in the DAG may restart at the same time.
