Managing Exchange Database Mountability Checks and
Log Truncation
When using AppAssure 5 to back up Microsoft Exchange Servers, mountability
checks can be performed on all Exchange databases after every snapshot. This
corruption detection feature alerts administrators of potential failures and ensures
that all data on the Exchange servers will be recovered successfully in the event of a
failure.
Configuring Exchange Database Mountability and Log Truncation
You can view, enable, or disable Exchange database server settings, including
automatic mountability check, nightly checksum check, or nightly log truncation.
Complete the steps in this procedure to configure settings for Exchange database
mountability and log truncation.
To configure Exchange database mountability and log truncation
1. In the left navigation area of the AppAssure 5 Core, select the machine for which
you want to configure mountability checks and log truncation.
The Summary tab for the selected machine displays.
2. Click Exchange Server Settings.
