Hello. We have 2 Exchange servers as well. But I only did 2 proxies, one for each, where the Target node is the TDP name and the Agent Node is the BA name.
We have 3 schedules. One schedules backups both Exchange servers as normal b/a. One schedule backups whatever DB's are passive, which kicks off the excincr.cmd on one exchange server. One schedule backups whatever DB's are passive, which kicks off the excincr.cmd on the other exchange server. The commands we use in the excincr.cmd are: Tdpexcc backup * incr /EXCLUDEDAGACTIVE /tsmoptfile=dsm.opt Tdpexcc backup * full /EXCLUDEDAGACTIVE /tsmoptfile=dsm.opt (on Fridays) On each server, we have 2 .opt files. One for the normal b/a nodes and one for the TDP DB backup nodes.

For now I have 2 Exchange servers 2010 ExchsrvA and ExchsrvB , I made all the upgrade version of TSM for both of them as: Tsm Client 6.4.1 Tsm Langree 6.3.4 Tsm Server 6.3.4 TDP for Exchange 6.4.1 When on each of them I have Active and Passive database (from each of them vice versa) For now I have for each server 2 sets of nodes: Ø ExchsrvA = Local Node ExchsrvAN_DB=TDP node Ø ExchsrvB = Local Node ExchsrvAB_DB=TDP node Run scheduler for ExchsrvA and scheduler for ExchsrvB and have two filesystems ( A and B ) I read the Redbook but need more information , here the process I need to do: Ø Reg node DAGEXCHANGE password domain=XXXX pasexp=9999 Ø Grant proxynode target=DAGEXCHANGE agent=ExchsrvA Ø Grant proxynode target=DAGEXCHANGE agent=ExchsrvAN_DB Ø Grant proxynode target=DAGEXCHANGE agent=ExchsrvB Ø Grant proxynode target=DAGEXCHANGE agent=ExchsrvBN_DB I need to run this command : TDPEXCC set dagnode=DAGEXCHANGE (on both exchange servers - correct ? and did this command update the tdpexc.cfg file ? ) Now some questions: Ø In which opt files I need to put the dagnode name (DAGEXCHANGE) , only in TDPEXCHANGE opt’s (both servers) instead the original nodes (ExchsrvAN_DB ExchsrvBN_DB) Ø What about the schedulers , for now I have one for each server ? I think no changes because the local client (ExchsrvA, ExhsrvB) are triggering the backup command. Ø Did I need to add on the backup command for each server: /minimumbackupinterval=60 Any others tips will be welcome … Best Regards Robert
