Before you perform backups of individual Exchange mailboxes or public folders, special configuration is required.
Note: |
The user account you use to log on must have the same Exchange privileges as the NetBackup Client service account. |
To back up individual
mailboxes, mailbox folders, or public folders, the backup policy
must include the Microsoft Exchange
Mailboxes:\
or the Microsoft Exchange
Public Folders:\
directive. These directives are only
available for Exchange 2007 and earlier.
Alternatively, you can perform a user-directed backup from a database backup policy that has enabled. You cannot back up individual mailboxes, mailbox folders, or public folders with a database backup policy. However, you can restore these items from the database backup.
To perform a user-directed MAPI backup of individual mailboxes and public folders
Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on the Exchange Server.
Select the Exchange policy type (click File > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type).
If you are in a cluster environment, specify the name of the virtual Exchange Server as the source client.
In the All Folders pane, expand the node that contains the objects you want to back up and select those objects.
See Table: Selecting individual Exchange mailboxes and public folders for user-directed backups.
To view the progress of the backup, click Yes.
If you do not want to view the progress of the backup, click No.
