Written by Allen White on January 2. Posted in Exchange 2. Exchange 2. 01. 3, Symantec. If you are running Exchange 2. Exchange 2. 01. 3 and use Backup Exec 1. Exchange organization uses DAG Database Availability Groups when you try and add your DAG to your backup jobs. The backup exec remote agent must be installed and running on all nodes in the dag. Right click the Exchange virtual node, and then click properties and ensure that the correct version of the agent is installed on the virtual node. The obvious first thing is to check that all of your nodes in your Exchange DAG have the correct agents installed such as the remote agent. Once done, on one of your Exchange nodes connect to the cluster fail over manager in administrative tools. You will see the screen below with the error  The Cluster Network Name is Not Online. Click on that error and it will scroll down to the screen below. The nodes will say offline, right click then and bring the resource online, you may also see the error code 0x. As seen below. Now, back in backup exec you should be able to expand the Database Availability Groups and select your information stores.
