5.3 Backing up Mailboxes

Brick-level (document level) backup is the most flexible type of backup. It offers
advanced configuration options and performs backups at folder levels and quick
restoring at separate messages level, allowing the most accurate level of restore. It
also supports advanced filtering during backup.
Use Mailbox backup and restore when you want the flexibility to back up individual
mailboxes, public folders and use mail level filters.
Also you can restore mailboxes and even separate e-mails from database backups.

5.3.1 Defining a Backup Strategy

In the first step of the Back up Mailboxes wizard you will define the backup strategy.
Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange provides three ways to define the strategy:

• Schedule a backup task with Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant
• Schedule a backup task manually
• Create a backup now

If you are not sure which backup strategy to choose, use Schedule a backup task
with Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange Assistant
(selected by default). See
5.2.6 for details.
If you know which backup type to use for your data, select the Schedule a backup
task manually
option. In this case you will have to define backup types and schedule
parameters for backup tasks.
To immediately run a backup task once select the Create a Backup Now option. In
this case a full backup will be created.
For more information about backup types see 5.1.2 “Backup Types”.
