Installing agents on Exchange cluster nodes
To back up data in an Exchange cluster, install the agent on each node of the cluster. When installing
the agent on a cluster node, specify an existing account of a domain user for the agent service. With
this account, the agent will be able to access the clustered data on any of the nodes. The account
must have administrative privileges on each of the cluster nodes.
To install the agent on a cluster node
1. Run the setup program.
2. Proceed to the window where you are asked how you want to use this machine and select the I
want to manually select the Acronis components and customize the installation process check
box.
3. In the components tree, select Agent for Exchange. Agent for Windows is selected automatically.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Details. When prompted to assign logon accounts to the Acronis services, in Acronis Managed
Machine Service (agent), select Use an existing account and specify the account that has
administrative privileges on each of the cluster nodes. Alternatively, you can choose to create a
new account for the agent. Then, when creating centralized backup plans or recovery tasks, you
will need to specify credentials for the domain account that has the necessary privileges.
If you installed the management server, choose to register Agent for Exchange on it during
installation.
