+. Do not click the Backup now button, as you need to create backup set on each of the CloudBacko Pro installed on other DAG member machines with the following steps:
+<WRAP indent>
+i. Click the Close button instead and go back to the main menu. Now we need to export the settings on this first node, and then import to the second node, export the settings on the second node and import to the third node, etc. until the last node in the cluster. Lastly, export the settings on the last node and import to the first node to complete the process.

+ii. Choose to export the setting file to any volume in the cluster storage which is visible to all nodes.
+iii. Now go to the second node and launch CloudBacko Pro. Go to Utitlities > Ex/Import Settings, and click Import Now button.
+iv. Select the settings.sys file from the location you saved it in the first node. In the Settings screen, check all the checkboxes.
+v. You should see Successfully import selected settings after successful import.
+vi. If you have a third node, export the settings from the second node and perform step v to vii on the third node.
+vii. Perform v to viii until reaching the last node. Then, export the settings from the last node and then go to the first node and import the settings to the first node.
+viii. On each node, go into Backup Sets, select the Exchange DAG backup set, and in the Owner filed, you should see all nodes there.

+===== Run Mail Level Backup Job =====
+{{public:cloudbacko_module_exchange_2016_mail_101d.png}}
+As mentioned in the Requirement section, if you choose to back up an Exchange DAG setup by installing CloudBacko Pro on each DAG member, only a scheduled backup that is performed on all DAG members at the scheduled time, will be considered a complete backup. CloudBacko Pro on all DAG members will start a backup, based on the scheduled time of the backup set at the same time.
+A manual backup performed only on individual DAG member will not be considered complete.
+Please refer to the Scheduled Backup for Exchange Server in Data Availability Group (DAG) Option for details.
