Microsoft Exchange Server 2010+ Database Backup integration/Configuration
Backup Types:
During
backup, databases can be used actively (online backup). In DAG environments,
you can back up active and/or passive database copies.
You can select among
the following Microsoft Exchange Server backup types:
- Full
- Copy
- Incremental
- Differential
Considerations:
- Both standalone environments and
Database Availability Group (DAG) environments are supported
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
integration is based on the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) technology.
- Uses
backup Parallelism: copies of different databases are backed up in
parallel, however, copies of the same database are not, due to a Microsoft
Exchange Server VSS writers limitation.
- There is no difference between
the active and passive copy, except in the currently active log file (at
the active copy side), which is not copied to the passive copy side until
the file is filled up (that is, reaches 1 MB).
- Backup sessions that back up the
same database cannot run in parallel.
- In DAG Environments you can take the backup by:
- By
Role:
All databases in the DAG are displayed.
- By
Client:
All clients in the DAG are displayed, together with all the databases
(active or passive) residing on them. Active databases have the label
(active) appended at the end. Passive databases have no label
Prerequisites:
- On Microsoft Exchange Server,
install .NET Framework 3.5.1 (in win2012 its not bydefault available)
- In a Microsoft Exchange Server
2010 environment, if you intend to use the restore method Restore
to a point in time, make sure that you have Microsoft Exchange
Server 2010 SP1 installed.
- Ensure that the following Data
Protector components are installed
on all Microsoft Exchange Server systems:
o
MS
Exchange Server 2010+ Integration
o
MS
Volume Shadow Copy Integration
o
The
appropriate Data Protector disk array agent
- In DAG environments, the DAG
virtual system (host) must also be imported to the Data Protector Cell.
- Save the user and its password to
a Windows Registry on the Microsoft Exchange Server system on which you
plan to start the integration agent (e2010_bar.exe). To save the user
account, use the Data Protector omniinetpasswd or omnicc
command
- you need user credentials with
specific Exchange Management Roles assigned to create a remote runspace
for executing the Exchange Management cmdlet
operations remotely.
- Configure your user account with
the following Exchange privileges:
- As a member of the Organization
Management role group.
- As a member of the Discovery
Management role group.
- As a member of the
Administrators group of the Microsoft Exchange Server system on which the
integration is installed.
Restore
During
restore, each database can be restored using a different restore method.
The
following methods are available:
- Repair all passive copies with
failed status
- Restore to the latest state
- Restore to a point in time
- Restore to a new mailbox database
- Restore files to a temporary
location
