It is possible to use both 32 and 64 version of the backup agent on a single system in some certain scenarios, for example backup of the exchange database (64-bit backup agent) and exchange mailbox (32-bit backup agent). This article is a step-by-step guide on how to configure clients and backup agents for this scenario.
- Add two clients for the same machine you want to back up.
- In the CFA Management Console, go to Clients › Edit.
- Select one of the newly added clients.
- In the Client Networking group, set the port to
9101
. - Click Apply to save changes.
- Click Activate configuration so the changes take effect.
This client will use the 32-bit version of the backup agent to pair with the CFA.
The other one will use the 64-bit version of the backup agent to pair with the CFA using the default port
9102
.
- Set up the 32-bit version of the backup agent:
- Install and run the 32-bit version of the backup agent on the client with port
9102
.
Note: You can find the configuration utility (
RVXConfig.exe
) for the 32-bit version of the backup agent inC:\Program Files (x86)\RVX-Backup
. - On the Appliance tab, select Manually Assign Appliance Information, enter the port
9101
, and then click Apply.
- Install and run the 32-bit version of the backup agent on the client with port
