Microsoft Exchange Server Writer Backup Specifics
Backup Types
The Microsoft Exchange Server Writer supports the following Microsoft
Exchange backup types:
• Full - backs up databases, transaction logs, and checkpoint files. The
transaction logs are truncated.
• Copy - a Full backup, but the logs are not truncated. This type of
backup is not intended for use in recovering failed systems.
Limitations
• You can back up only the whole server or full storage groups. Single
stores cannot be backed up.
• With Exchange Server 2003, only one VSS backup session can be
running on the same application system at once. With Exchange
Server 2007, only one VSS backup session backing up a specific
storage group can be running on the same application system at once.
Consequently, if you start a backup session while another one is in
progress, the latter waits until the first one finishes.
Recommendations
• With EVA provider, an Exchange storage group should not reside on
more than four source volumes.
