# Getting Started with Exchange Database

Getting started with Exchange Database includes completing the Databases service catalog and performing a test backup and restore.

## Complete the Databases Service Catalog

To add the first database in your Command Center environment, use the Databases service catalog. In the Command Center, go to Service Catalog> Exchange.

To complete the service catalog, you need the following information:

- The server name

- The host name

- The credentials that you use to access the server

- The packages that you want to install, such as Oracle

  Note

  If you are configuring a database that uses a pseudoclient, you must manually install the packages on the physical servers before you use the service catalog. For more information, see Adding a New Server.

## Prepare for a Test Backup and Restore

1. Configure a storage target.

2. Create a backup plan.

3. Create an Exchange DAG client.

4. Assign content to the default subclient.

5. Configure manual or automatic selection of the backup source for the default subclient.

## Perform a Test Backup and Restore

- Perform a backup operation.

- Perform a restore operation.

## Create User-Defined Subclients

To back up specific databases, or for content that you need to back up on a separate schedule, create user-defined subclients.
