Exclude Exchange 2013 Databases

Thread needs solution

Is there a way to exclude a list of Exchange databases.  I have a journal mailboxes that sit on multiple dedicated databases.  I have no need to back these databases up.

The only thing I can find is to manually pick the databases I want to backup, but this hard assigns them to a specific client.  If I just select the DAG, the backup process picks the best passive database copy to backup.

Thx

Hi,

>> The only thing I can find is to manually pick the databases I want to backup, but this hard assigns them to a specific client. 

This is not exactly correct - if you select DAG DBs directly, then the passive copies of these DBs will be backed up regardless of which DAG node the copy is placed on, e.g. the agent will be selected dynamically (it won't be hardly bind to specific agent), so this approach should solve your scenario.

Thank you.
