1) To take the backup of Exchange server RSG’s we need to install TDP RSG software in the client machine along with BA Client software.
2) The default installation directory for BA Client is as below:
C:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient
3) The default installation directory for TDP EXCHANGE is as below:
C:\program files\tivoli\tsm\TDPEXC
4) Types of backup in EXCHANGE :
a) FULL BACKUP: It always takes the full backup of RSG. And it will not delete transaction log’s.
b) Copy backup: It always takes the full backup of RSG. And it will delete transaction log’s.
c) Differential Backup: It will take the backup of transaction logs and it will not delete the transaction log’s.
d) Incremental Backup: It will take the backup of transaction logs and it will delete the transaction log’s.
5) TSM Server Side configuration:
a) Initially we need to register two nodes in the TSM server. One node is for file system backup and second node is for EXCHANGE RSG backup.
b) Use the below commands to register the nodes to the TSM Server.
Reg node nodename nodepassword domain=domainname userid=none
6) Client side configuration:
a) Initially we need to install BA Client Software in the client machine and once we install BA Client Software we will get a client configuration file in the default directory of BA Client i.e., “dsm.opt” .
b) We need to provide required entries into “dsm.opt” file for successful running of the BA client.
c) Now we need to install TDP EXCHANGE software in the client machine. And once we install TDP EXCHANGE software we can find the below configuration files in the default directory of TDPEXC as mentioned above.
“TDPEXC.exe”
“TDPEXCC.exe”
“dsm.opt”
“TDPEXCFULL.smp”
“TDPEXCcopy.smp”
“TDPEXCdiff.smp”
“TDPEXCINCR.smp”
d) We need to provide necessary entries in the “dsm.opt” file of TDP EXCHANGE node. In that we need to enter the node name as the EXCHANGE node name which we registered in the TSM Server.
e) Once done with the changes in “dsm.opt’ file of TDPEXC then we need to reset the password of the TDPEXC node. For that first we need to go to command prompt of windows server of client machine there we need to go the below directory:
C:\programfile\tivoli\tsm\TDPEXC
f) And give the below command to change the password.
TDPEXCc changepassword oldpassword newpassword confirmpassword
g) Once we have reset the password we can trigger the backup of EXCHANGE RSG manually by using below commands. For that we need to login to the TDPEXC directory and use below commands.
For full backup:
TDPEXC backup * full
For Diff backup:
TDPEXC backup * diff
For copy Backup:
TDPEXC backup * copy
For Incr Backup:
TDPEXC backup * incr
h) If we want to schedule a backup for the EXCHANGE RSG then initially we need to make some entries in the below TDPEXC configuration files:
“TDPEXCFULL.SMP”, “TDPEXCDIFF.SMP”, “TDPEXCCOPY.SMP” “TDPINCR.SMP”
i) We need to open “TDPEXCFULL.SMP” file make the following entries:
“TDPEXCC backup * full”
And then convert the file from “.SMP” format to “ CMD” format.
j) Repeat the same above step for differential and LOG backup using below commands:
k) For Differential: TDPEXC backup * diff
l) for Copy: TDPEXC backup * copy
m) For Incremental Backup : TDPEXC backup * incr
n) once we have made the required changes in the client configuration file of TDPEXC node then we need to schedule a scheduler service in the TSM Server by using below command:
define schedule domainname schedule name action=cmd objects=”location of TDPEXC.CMD” startdate=date starttime=hr: mm:ss duration=number durationunits=hours period=number periodunits=days/weeks/months/years
o) Then we need to associate the nodes to the TSM Server by using below command:
Define associate domainname schedulename nodename
p) Thus EXCHANGE RSG backups are configured.
2) The default installation directory for BA Client is as below:
C:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient
3) The default installation directory for TDP EXCHANGE is as below:
C:\program files\tivoli\tsm\TDPEXC
