On Exchange 2010 (which does not use storage groups), all information to be backed up must
be mounted in advance.

You cannot back up storage groups extending across multiple database servers.

The recovery storage groups for Exchange Server 2003/2007 cannot be backed up. The files
and folders that make up the restoration storage group must be placed on a different file system
from the storage groups to be backed up.

Among the cluster resource groups, the Exchange System Attendant resource and the Exchange
information store resource must be online during backup. If they are not online, the backup oper-
ation will result in an error.

The operations shown below change information pertaining to the Exchange 2003/2007 Server
on the Active Directory, so if you perform any of these operations you will no longer be able to
restore backup data obtained before these operations:
• Modification of the paths of the information store, log, and system files.
• Addition or deletion of storage groups.
• Modification of the storage group name.
• Addition of an information store to a storage group.
• Deletion of an information store from a storage group.
If you have performed any of the above operations, you will need to back up the Active Directory
and the Exchange database again. To perform a backup of the Active Directory database, follow
the instructions in the Microsoft documentation.

The following event log messages might be output to a backup server:

Event type: Error

Event source: PlugPlayManager

Event ID: 12

Event type: Warning

Event source: ftdisk

Event ID: 57

Event type: Warning

Event source: disk

Event ID: 51

Event type: Warning

Event source: ntfs

Event ID: 50

These messages are displayed because the secondary volume is temporarily hidden during the
backup. They have no impact on the operation and can be ignored.

When an Exchange replica is created, the following event logs, which do not affect backup pro-
cessing, may be output to the backup server:

Source: VDS Dynamic Provider

Event ID: 10

Level: Error

Description: The provider failed while storing notifications

from the driver. The Virtual Disk Service should be restarted.
