Backing up a storage group by using a user script
By using a backup command that specifies a user script, you can use a single operation to back up
a storage group to tape from the primary volume via the secondary volume. The explanations in this
section use operation examples for Exchange Server 2007.
System configuration
The example is based on the system configuration shown in the figure below.

Processing flow
In this example, the processing flow of the drmexgbackup command that specifies a user script is
as follows:
• A VSS backup of the storage group is performed.
• Once the backup from the primary volume to the secondary volume has been completed, the
backup catalog is transferred to the backup server.
• On the backup server, the secondary volume is mounted on the G and H drives.
• The secondary volume is backed up to tape by using NTBACKUP, and then is unmounted (this is
a step in the user post-processing section).
The drmexgbackup command terminates without waiting for the tape backup operation to terminate.
