Volume Sets

To configure volume sets:

In a volume set, place one storage group and its log files.

Do not place one volume in more than one volume set.

Do not place unrelated volumes in a volume set.

Host Sets

You can configure your system with host sets and volume sets, or with host sets only.

Configuring Multiple Domains

Multiple domain configurations allow you to use one backup server for multiple Active Directory
domains. You can use a multiple-domain setup with any Recovery Manager for Exchange 2007
configuration.

All multiple domain configurations must follow these rules:

All backup components (for example, the backup server, the backup software client, and the
Remote Copy target server) must be in the local domain.

The production servers and the Windows hosts enabled for mounting virtual copies can be in
any domain; local or nonlocal.

For more information about Recovery Manager for Exchange configurations, see

“Recovery Manager

Layout” (page 13)

. For an example multiple-domain configuration, see

“Multiple Domain Backup

Configurations” (page 16)

.

Multiple Domain Requirements

Ensure your domain names follow Microsoft naming conventions for Active Directory and for fully
qualified domain names (FQDN). For more information, see Microsoft documentation on Active
Directory and FQDN naming conventions.
