Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange - User Guide - Manual (Page 36)

While creating a backup task, you have to select, which way to back up your data.
Note, transaction logs files require considerable disk space, so you will have to delete
(or move to another place for storing) them manually, taking into account which files
are safe to remove.
For more information about backup types see 5.1.2 “Backup Types”.
5.2.2 Specifying a Task Execution Account
In this step of the Backup Information Store wizard you specify an account that is
valid for the computer housing databases you want to back up – task execution
account. These credentials will be used during each task execution for connecting to
the server and by default for connecting to the Microsoft Exchange Server.
The task will run as if it was started by the specified user.
Enter the user name and password, then click Next. Note, the domain name must also
be specified if the user is a member of a domain (
DOMAIN\Username ).
Note, this step will be skipped if in the first one you selected the Create a
backup now option.
5.2.3 Selecting Items to Back Up
In this step of the wizard you have to specify which items to back up.
In the left pane of the window select an information store with Microsoft Exchange
installed and expand it to view and specify storage groups to back up. In case an
information store is selected, all associated storage groups will also be selected.
Information on the selected item is displayed in the right pane of the window:
information store name, installed operating system and the number of storage groups.
Selecting Information Stores to Back Up
When selecting an information store to back up Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange will
automatically back up all of the storage groups associated with this information store.
A list of information stores can be obtained, with the connected user’s
privileges that cannot be changed.
Screenshot
Note, Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange does not back up the Active
Directory. This means, that even there were any changes after a backup
archive was created, after restoring the Microsoft Exchange Server structure
will remain the same as it was before the restoration process. As a result,
while restoring information stores, only storage groups will be restored one by
one. For example, mailboxes created or deleted after the last backup, will still
exist phisically after the restore, but they will not be mounted, and so will not
be usable.
The right pane will display the information store name, Microsoft Exchange version, the
installed operating system and amount of storage groups.
