5.2.5 Using Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant

Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant will help you define backup strategy and
creation parameters. You will be prompted to answer a few questions, and Acronis
Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant will choose and schedule the appropriate backup
type for protecting your company’s databases from loss or damage (see a table of
backup strategies at the end of this document).

Performance

Decide what is most important to your operation – a strategy that requires less storage
space or faster data recovery.
Select an option:

Quick backup and smaller backup archives - backups are created fast

and occupy less space. However, recovery requires more time and you
cannot restore data to a point-in-time. This option is set by default.

Medium backup and recovery speed with average archive size -

backups require an average amount of disk space and backup speed is
normal. No restoration to a point-in-time.

Quick recovery but backups require more storage space - backups

will take more time to be created and occupy more disk space in
comparison to a quick backup. Recovery is faster and there is an
opportunity to specify a point in time to restore data to.
