Backup

Easily backup MS Exchange Server databases without interrupting the already running MS Exchange Server services.

To backup your MS Exchange Server,
  1. Login to the IBackup application and click the Server Backup tab.
  2. Under MS Exchange Server section, click Backup.



  3. Select the mailbox database(s) from the list displayed and specify the temporary local backup path.

    Note: If you connect to an Exchange Server Cluster, a list of all databases that are available in your Exchange Cluster appears.

  4. Select Online Backup or Local Backup radio button, and click Schedule Now.



    Note:     Ensure that the selected temporary folder on the local computer has sufficient free hard drive space to hold the MS Exchange Server backup files. You cannot select a remote location as a temporary location for the MS Exchange Server backup.

  5. The Schedule backup screen is displayed where you can schedule the backup for any future day and time or perform an immediate backup of the selected databases.


Note:
  • On successful backup of the MS Exchange Server databases to your IBackup account, the files are stored in a folder called IBackupExchBackupset. It is not advisable to update or delete files manually as it may interrupt the Exchange Server restore operation. Also, avoid using the IBackupExchBackupset as a destination folder for any other backup/ restore operation.
  • At any given point of time, you can maintain only one backup job named IBExchangeServerBkset.
