Using NMM for CCR aware Exchange backups
Hi,
I need a suggestion for using NMM for CCR aware Exchange backups. Currently we are using NME to take the Exchange backups and now I need to know how important is to change this practise for backing up CCR aware backups.
Can anyone tell me if I need to go for NMM? what are the limitations in implementing it. Is the NMM 2.2 a stable version? What are the drawbacks?
Some of my clients requirements are:
There is no need for item/brick level backup/restore.
Transaction logs should be truncated after the backup completes.
Recovery to RSG
Waiting for suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karthik,
As per Technical Note esg113582, go for NMM 2.2 SP1. It is the most stable right now and also fixes some problems with the backup of Exchange.
Hi Karthik,
In my opinion you should stick to streaming backups (NME) as long as it is supported for your configuration and not impacting your performance. We have NMM for a 2008 CCR cluster installed because NME is not supported for this anymore, but it is giving a lot of issues. NMM 2.2SP1 is better than previous builds but it is still not optimal.
Issues we have were instability of VSS snapshots, nameresolution issues and restore issues. Currently the restore takes a long time to set up.
Good luck,
Maarten
