Using Replay Manager Service on Clustered Servers
Although the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) is not a cluster-aware service, Replay Manager Service for
Windows can be used in a Windows clustered-server environment.
For general guidelines on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 clusters and storage, see: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/
hh831579.aspx
For general guidelines on Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 clusters and storage, see: https://
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/failover-clustering/whats-new-in-failover-clustering
Follow these guidelines to install and configure Replay Manager on server nodes in a cluster:
● Run the Replay Manager Service using a domain user account that is a part of the local administrators group.
● Install a Replay Manager Service for Windows on each server node in the cluster.
● If using the Verification Service for Microsoft Exchange, install the Verification Service on a machine outside the cluster.
● When updating Replay Manager Services, first stop the backup operations, shut down the Replay Manager Service on all
nodes, then update all the nodes in the cluster.
Non-transportable snapshots created on a node can be viewed and used only by the node on which the snapshot was created.
Transportable snapshots can be imported to any node.
NOTE: Volume-based, non-transportable snapshots can be created using Replay Manager cmdlets only.

2. Select Internet Options from the Tools menu.
3. Click the Connections tab.

addresses.
