To back up CCR data, you need the NetWorker Module for Microsoft
Applications, not the Exchange module. I cannot vouch for that module though
because I don't have experience with it, other than trying it in a test
environment. I am also not sure  if it is supported with NetWorker 7.2.2.

On the other hand, if you just want to back up the Exchange active data,
then the standard Exchange module on Mercury2 and Mercury 4 will work.

You will also need a cluster license for Windows, although the need for that
particular license will go away once you upgrade to NetWorker 7.5.x
