How the Client Agent for Windows Excludes Database Application Files from
Backups
The Client Agent for Windows can exclude database and log files from backups of
database applications, such as Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SQL Server,
when performing backups.
During the backup job, the Client Agent for Windows communicates with the
database agent to obtain a list of files that the backup job should exclude from
the file system backup. The Client Agent for Windows then excludes files from
the file system backup based on the response received from the database agent.
If the database agent is offline, the Client Agent assumes all files should be
backed up and the file system backup job proceeds accordingly.
Example:
When you select a Microsoft Exchange server directory as the backup source and
perform file system backup using the Client Agent for Windows, the following
exclusion behavior occurs:
■
If the Exchange Information Store is online, the Agent for Microsoft
Exchange Server provides a list of the Exchange databases and log files that
should be excluded from the backup job.
As a result, CA ARCserve Backup skips the excluded files and completes the
file system backup.
