Exchange Recovery
The PowerVault DL2000 disk-based appliance provides continuous data protection of mission critical
applications for quick, reliable backups and restores as well as integration with tape for long term archival. With
Symantec‘s Granular Recovery Technology (GRT), Backup Exec provides granular recovery capabilities for files,
Microsoft SharePoint, SQL Server, Exchange applications, Active Directory, VMware virtual servers and
Microsoft virtual servers including Hyper-V. With Microsoft Exchange, for example, Backup Exec Granular
Recovery Technology can recover mailboxes, folders, messages, or attachments without requiring a full
database restore. Granular Recovery Technology allows the recovery of individual objects from single pass
backups of databases and images. The traditional approach requires two backups, one of the entire database
and a second separate individual object backup.
ESG Lab Testing
ESG Lab used Backup Exec
‘s Granular Recovery Technology to restore messages accidentally deleted from an
individual user ‘s Inbox after a full backup of the Exchange database. Granular Recovery Technology was
enabled during the wizard-driven configuration of the first full backup of Exchange using the interface shown in
Figure 8.
