Backing Up Exchange Databases Via the Passive Node in an Exchange Server 2007 CCR Cluster
Overview There are many reasons why one would want to deploy a CCR protected clustered mailbox server over a single mailbox server or a Single Copy Cluster (SCC) for that matter. In the context of Exchange database backups, one major benefit of CCR is that not only the active node, but also the passive node supports Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) for backing up the Storage Groups. This means that one no longer needs to schedule their Exchange backup window to occur in non-working hours. The author has used DPM v2 for demonstration purposes throughout this white paper, most 3rd party backup vendors will also let one do VSS backups of the database copies stored on the passive node.
