>From what I can tell, though I haven't gotten too deep into is, is that
the Netbackup for Exchange client is essentially just a Netbackup for
Windows client.....Exchange installed on the host is what makes it an
Exchange client.

So basically, it's just a windows server with Netbackup on it.
You need to configure some stuff (accounts) on the Exchange server to
make it talk properly to the installed Netbackup client...then you back
it up pretty much the same as a windows box, ie, backup C, D, and
whatever other drives you have on each physical box, via each individual
host's node name, then you backup the Exchange DBs by the virtual name
of the cluster.

So you can't do a DR of the Exchange app, by installing the windows
client on a windows box, then doing a FULL restore to it. You need an
exchange server running to accept the restore data, as the restore will
talk to the exchange API.....so Exchange has to be installed AND
running.

I believe, but am not sure if you can install the NBU client first on
the bare box, then install Exchange, but I *THINK* you can.

You need an Exchange license for every instance of exchange you intend
ot backup or restore to.

ie. We have a production cluster, a "restore" instance on a different
box, an instance in the lab, and one at our DR site that we will restore
to in a DR, so we need 4 licences.
