About installing the Exchange Agent

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
The Exchange agent is installed as part of the Agent for Applications and Databases and can protect local or remote Exchange Server databases..
To support the Exchange Agent, the Backup Exec server must have access to the Exchange Server.
You can find a list of compatible operating systems, platforms, applications, and supported service packs in the Backup Exec Software Compatibility List.
Note: When you install Microsoft Exchange Tools and Backup Exec together on a server, Exchange Tools must be installed first. If you install Backup Exec before Exchange Tools, you must restart the Backup Exec server after you finish the Exchange Tools installation.
