Exchange 2013 DAG backup

Hi

I want to configure Exchange backup using the dag address but I get this error as if something is configured incorrectly:

You cannot use the backup directive for Database Availability Groups for an Exchange Standalone backup
17 janv. 2023 17:49:45 - Info bpresolver (pid=14640) done. status: 72: the client type is incorrect in the configuration database

Could not find any mismatch with the documentation.

Client is dag address DEVDAG01.domain

Backup selection is Microsoft Exchange Database Availability Groups:\DEVDAG01.domain\Microsoft Information Store\DAG01DB004STD

use snapshot is enabled

in preferred list I've included all the servers that store this DAG.

What else could I verify?

PS: if I indicate a single exchange server in the clients tab the backup is successful.

  • We've found found the stumbling block thanks to the Veritas support and debugging via bpresolver log.

    the name that we've configured the client with was in the backup network ie exch1.backup.local ad the dag didn't know that ame because exchange servers were registered there as exch1.prod.local

    After reconfiguring with proper names the error has disappeared.
