2. Specify a different user for which UAC is disabled. For example you can use a built-in domain

administrator account which has UAC disabled by default.

3. Install a small (up to 30Mb) “Acronis Backup Agent” inside the VM. For that: run Acronis

vmProtect 9 installation package, choose Extract Components option from the menu, extract

Acronis Backup Agent .msi component and install the Agent onto the server where UAC is

enabled. Then, you can employ any domain user with domain administrator privileges

independently from UAC state.

Note that while vmProtect 9 is not a cluster-aware software, it is still possible to perform

Application-aware backups of Exchange cluster nodes (Exchange 2003 SP2+ versions are supported).

During the backup Acronis vmProtect 9 can back up the Exchange databases available for the specific

VM (node of Exchange cluster) at the given moment of time. While there are many different types of

Exchange cluster (SCC, CCR, DAG) which all have their own specifics, the main thing you should

ensure is that the Exchange databases data is actually accessible from the VM you are backing up

with “Application-aware” option. The same approach applies to transaction logs truncation option –

they will be truncated for the accessible databases only.

For example, it does not matter which node of Exchange 2010 DAG cluster you are backing up, since

in this case each node can host active databases and passive databases (i.e. replicas of databases

from other nodes), and all these databases will be properly backed up as they are accessible from

any node. Note that the logs will be truncated for both active and passive databases in this case.

The exception from this rule is SCC cluster where database is located on shared storage and

therefore is inaccessible for vStorage API used to get access to the VM data. SCC clusters are NOT

supported.

If you are planning to extract the Exchange database from the backup and perform recovery to the

point of failure, which implies replacing the database with the backup copy and rolling up the

transactions logs on top of it, then you should make sure to extract the very latest version of the

database, so that the existing transaction logs can be applied to this copy. If any of the transactions

logs are missing in the chain then their roll up will not be possible.

NOTE: The backup of VM(s) with Active Directory should not be older than the “tombstone lifetime” setting (60

days by default). Otherwise, the domain controller within the VM(s) restored from such an outdated archive will

be inconsistent. For more information, please, refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216993/en-us.

7.4.2 Backup validation

If you would like to check the newly created backup for consistency (perform the backup validation),

select the Validate after backup check box (for further information on Backup validation, please refer

to section “Validating backups” (p. 90)).

If you have configured your backup task to copy the backups to a second location, here you can

choose to validate your backups in the second location or not.

7.4.3 Other settings

the “Options” section (p. 38).
