Cluster Support Plug-in |
Backs up and restores files and folders on shared cluster disks. The plug-in also works with the SQL Server Plug-in to protect SQL Server databases on Windows clusters, and the Image Plug-in to back up cluster volumes as images. Jobs are automatically redirected to the active node after a failover. For more information, see Add a Windows cluster. |

Exchange Plug-in |
Backs up and restores Exchange databases. You can also restore individual mailboxes and messages using this plug-in and the Granular Restore for Microsoft Exchange and SQL application. |

Exchange Plug-in (Legacy) |
Legacy plug-in. Backs up and restores Exchange 2007 databases (no longer supported). |

Image Plug-in |
Backs up Windows volumes as images rather than backing up individual files and folders. You can restore complete volumes and specific files and folders from Image backups. You can also restore entire systems from Image backups using System Restore. Using Image Plug-in version 7.5 or later, you can create application-consistent SQL Server database backups and restore database files. For more information, see Image Plug-in. Note: You must use Portal to manage Image Plug-in backups and restores. This plug-in is not supported in the legacy Windows CentralControl. |

Oracle Plug-in |
Backs up and restores Oracle databases. |

SQL Server Plug-in |
Backs up and restores SQL Server databases. The plug-in also works with the Cluster Support Plug-in to protect Microsoft SQL Server databases on Windows clusters. You can also use the SQL Server Plug-in to back up and restore SharePoint databases. You can restore individual items from a SQL Server or SharePoint database backup using the Granular Restore for Microsoft Exchange and SQL application. |
